Thanks. I can’t remember what I did because it was a while ago but I did end up solving it. Thank you for your solution awls99. I’ll be sure to try this out in the future.

I’m not sure if this was around at the time of this writting, but this will get you there faster:

$categories=get_categories(array(‘parent’=>0,’exclude’=>’1′));

the array on the function are the arguments that can be passed, I used exclude cat 1 bacouse it’s generaly the “No category” category, the parent => 0 makes it that it only get category withou parents, thus making the if clause you use unencessary. hope it was clear and useful

Like Jason, I will be pleased to know how to make the parent level of my categories menu unclickable.

Nice post. I am wondering if you possibly know how to just disable the category parent links but still display the name while the subcategories remain intact and in normal behavior?
