Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Ambrosite Unlink Parent Categories
Unlink Parent Categories only affects the output of wp_list_categories. If your menu is not being generated by that functions, then the plugin will not work. If you want to test whether this is an issue with your menu, put the default 'Categories' widget into your sidebar. The Categories widget uses wp_list_categories, so if the parent categories are unlinked there, but not in your navigation menu, it means that your menu is not using wp_list_categories.
You must set the 'taxonomy' parameter of wp_list_categories in order to generate a list of custom taxonomy terms, as explained in the WordPress Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories#Display_Terms_in_a_custom_taxonomy Once the taxonomy parameter is set, the plugin will unlink the parent terms in the list, just as it does with normal categories. You can also set a custom taxonomy for the default Categories widget, by putting the following code into functions.php: function wc_args( $cat_args ) { $cat_args['taxonomy'] = 'my_taxonomy'; return $cat_args; } add_filter('widget_categories_args', 'wc_args');
If you uncheck 'Use Dummy Links', the plugin will unlink the parent categories by replacing the anchor tags with span tags. In some themes, this may cause styling problems if there are CSS selectors targeting the anchor tags that have been removed. In order to fix this, you must add an additional selector to any rule that targets the anchor tags. The CSS rules are different for every theme, so I cannot give specific instructions. As a general example, if your menu styles look like this: #menu li a { some styles ... } Then you would need to add an additional selector which targets the span: `#menu li span, menu li a { some styles ... }`
