Plugin to Fold the Category Checklist Tree in WordPress

By Glenn Ansley  |  June 11th, 2010  |  Published in WordPress Plugins  |  4 Comments

The category (as well as custom taxonomy) boxes on the write / edit post screen in WordPress can get pretty long if you have a large number of categories with children categories.

This plugin allows you to hide and expand the children categories from view to make navigation a little less complicated.

Goes great with Scribu’s Category Checklist Tree plugin found here.

Download it here until I find time to submit it to the repository.

Here’s a screenshot of it in action on a custom taxonomy I happen to have created it for:

    I enabled this plugin and it doesn’t seem to be doing anything to my category list when editing a post. This plugin would be very helpful, so how can I get it working?

    Nevermind, got it working. In wordpress 3.1, this should reference “post-new.php” not “post.php”. Thanks for the plugin!

    Also, if you change “.children” in the jquery to “.find” it will create a tree of all the sub children as well.
