Thread

when I create entries in weblog/category/subcategory, I want them to NOT appear when viewing weblog/category. In other words, I want viewers to see entries from a subcategory ONLY when they’re viewing that subcategory, and NOT when viewing the parent category.

I need a way to do this dynamically (meaning I can’t use “if category=100” statements because there are too many categories and new ones being created regularly). Is there some glaringly obvious method to do this which I am missing?

thanks a lot

First thing to check:
Are you aware of the following setting:
CP Home ›  Admin ›  Weblog Administration ›  Global Weblog Preferences › Auto-Assign Category Parents?

Hi silenz, that was in fact checked, but unchecking it did not fix the problem.

Any other ideas? EE gurus anyone?

While this is enabled, the parent category is automatically added when submitting an entry. Even if you have only checked the subcategory in the publish form.

Probably your existing entries have more categories assigned to them than you realized…

100% right. Thanks silenz!

Thanks for the assist, silenz.  The advice was dead on.
