Plugin to Fold the Category Checklist Tree in WordPress
By michael | 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.

Thanks. I’ll make the changes and submit it to the WP repo
