re: you should work to add this feature to your next release
Yes, this will be included in the next release.
re: Also you could add a feature allowing users to choose to not allow parent categories to be selected, and a shortcode to remove the “Show all categories” option.
Hmmm, the “Show all categories” shouldn’t even be an option. I just fixed that bug. The fix will be in the next update.
re: having more options on what to display or not could improve this even more.
I did other shortcode options for categories which are in the beta I gave you. You also have these options; exclude_category, include_category, hide_empty_category, show_category_count.
You would not use exclude_category and include_category together, one or the other. The include_category option would be use to show only the specified categories. The exclude_category option should allow to exclude specific categories.
Does this qualify?
re: you could add a feature allowing users to choose to not allow parent categories to be selected
I just now added this per your suggestion. Thanks!
