The first category type show's up fine. However the other types don't show or display "Top Level". If I use the default Type "regular" all the types show up in one row. If I log out as admin the "Top Level" link disappears and the First category shows as both the Top Level and the SUB-category. Here is how the page is rendered: td colspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="#F09C6E" width="195"><p> <!-- BEGIN CATSBODY --> <!-- END GROUPAI --> <!-- BEGIN CATSBODY --> <!-- BEGIN GROUPAI --> <a href="index.php?action=displaycat&catid=1" class="categoryname">A,B,C</a> (0) <br> <a href="index.php?action=displaycat&catid=2">Amateurs</a>, <a href="index.php?action=displaycat&catid=3">Astro</a>, <a href="index.php?action=displaycat&catid=4">Anime</a><!-- END SUBSUB --></p> <!-- BEGIN GROUPAI --> <a href="index.php?action=displaycat&catid=7" class="categoryname">D,E,F</a> (0) <br> <!-- END SUBSUB --></p> <!-- END GROUPAI --> <!-- BEGIN CATSBODY --> <!-- END GROUPAI --> <!-- BEGIN CATSBODY --> <!-- END GROUPAI --> <!-- END CATSBODY --> </td> <td width="19"><img name="home_r3_c5" src="https://www.webmastersite.net/forums/templates/jack/images/home_r3_c5.gif" width="19" height="192" border="0" alt=""></td> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#F09C6E" width="208"><p> <!-- BEGIN CATSBODY --> <!-- BEGIN JRGROUP --> <a href="index.php?action=displaycat&catid=1" class="categoryname">A,B,C</a> (0) <br> <!-- BEGIN SUBSUB --> <a href="index.php?action=displaycat&catid=1">A,B,C</a>, <!-- END SUBSUB --> </p> <!-- END JRGROUP --> <!-- END CATSBODY --> </td> <td width="16"><img name="home_r3_c7" src="https://www.webmastersite.net/forums/templates/jack/images/home_r3_c7.gif" width="16" height="192" border="0" alt=""></td> <td colspan="3" valign="top" bgcolor="#F09C6E" width="200"><p> <!-- BEGIN CATSBODY --> <!-- BEGIN SZGROUP --> <a href="index.php?action=displaycat&catid=1" class="categoryname">A,B,C</a> (0) <br> <!-- BEGIN SUBSUB --> <a href="index.php?action=displaycat&catid=1">A,B,C</a>, <!-- END SUBSUB --></p> <!-- END SZGROUP --> <!-- END CATSBODY --> </td> If I understand the documentation and examples, this should work? Or there is another way? Thanks.

As it is I'll go through and invent some category types.

Has the Category Types been fixed in the test version of WSN KB? I'm playing around with this software for a client (downloaded last week), trying to learn the differences from WSN links to KB before my client purchases it. Because I'm currently having the exact same problem as the original poster.

Only the templates and some control switches and a couple links-specific files differ.
