    I tried searching but I could’t find an answer.

    Is there any way to hide parent from category select box if only one parent category is being used?

    my categories are as follows:

    parent one
    – sub one
    – sub two
    parent two
    – sub one
    – sub two

    My shortcode says to display parent 1 which works but the category select shows:

    show all categories
    parent one
    – sub one
    – sub two

    but i would like it to show only:

    show all categories
    sub one
    sub two

    Technically yes, but that would require a code change in the template so its not easily achievable.

    ok :(

    Another option could be to remove “show all categories” from the select menu. Is this possible.

    also which template were you referring to? if a change is made to it is it futureproofable?

    thanks

    re: also which template were you referring to?

    Well, you wrote this in the cMap support forum, so I supposed the cMap template. Really though, it does not matter, all templates will output the same categories because they all use the same code to do so.

    re: if a change is made to it is it futureproofable?

    No, not this change. If an update is released to a template with this change, the change will be lost and will need reapplied.

    re: Another option could be to remove “show all categories” from the select menu. Is this possible.

    You could use CSS to hide the hide it, I think, but chances are that when you add new categories you would have to adjust the CSS.

    Thanks, you are a genius, sometimes the simplest way is the easiest, and a well coded plugin helps alot.

    I used css and removed teh parent category on the specified page.

    .page-id-53 .cn-cat-level-0 {
display: none!important;

    }
