Restrict Number of Child Posts Displayed in Category Dropdowns?

[imported_Ryan]

It appears that the second menu bug I’m seeing is unrelated to the previous plugin installed. It’s a generic bug which is caused by the auto-theme support option.

I’ll walk you through the steps I took to perhaps help with bug replication:

Install Pixopoint menu 0.6.20 > Remove all items from second menu > Place Home,Categories,Search in top menu > Customize Categories to only include a couple categories, organize by My Category Order plugin > enable "show child posts?" > use custom CSS for top menubar (as featured below)

Then:

Install Pixopoint menu 0.8.12 via FTP by deleting old folder and copying over new one > (second menubar now under first one (even with no items), category order has changed, and child posts no longer enabled) > (option to enable child post display will not save, but child post limit does) > move "categories" to second menu bar and select "show child posts", then "update options" > all menu items disappear from menubar and admin panel

Hope this helps!

My brain’s starting to hurt ” title=”Sad” /> Fixing that stupid problem with the second menu bugging out is turning into somewhat of a brain bender ” title=”Tongue” /> I can see the problem, I know what i need to do to fix it, but I keep making more bugs in the process! I’ll hopefully it sorted shortly though … hopefully!

Child posts just have a small issue left.  The drop-down from each of the categories shows the latest posts overall instead of the latest posts in each category.

The second menubar still won’t go away, but I’ve temporarily fixed the problem by changing its background image to one that is the same colour as my website’s background and its width to 0px.

And… the category order in the bar cannot be changed.  No matter what option you choose in 0.8.x, the categories are arranged alphabetically instead of following the sorting options.

Thanks for all of your time, and I hope this helps.  : D

Lol, that’s not a small issue, that’s a big issue ” title=”Smiley” /> I don’t understand how that happened, but I’ll look into it for you.
