Exclude sub categories?

CoastalData

Hello, I have a site that I wanted to use your plugin on, and on that site it has several categories, and some of those categories have sub-categories.... I wanted to display only the items from the parent category, but unfortunately, the plugin displays everything from both parent and child categories. I tried differentiating using tags, but as I'd posted in a seperate post, that's not working either.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

You should read the Documentation:

[list][*]id - To display posts from a category using the category's id. Ex: [catlist id=24]. You can include several categories: Ex: [catlist id=17,24,32] or exclude a category with minus (-) Ex: [catlist id=17,-24][/*:m][/list:u]

Exclude the sub-categories.

Oh okay, well it's not a matter of not reading the documentation, it's just that it's non-intuitive to have to manually exclude the sub-categories, and let's face it, if the categories get changed around, then the hard-coding of this will be broken.

If I ask for id=24, then why would it ever display something else?

Forgive my non-techie-ness - but as far as I can see, my categories don't have ID numbers. When I look at the categories, they have names and slugs, but no id numbers. So, how would I exclude those child categories?

Howdy, Stranger!
