    I want to do something like on this person’s page:
    https://playinginpuddles.com.au/directory/

    So when someone clicks on the main category, they are taken to the listings that are in that category, but ALSO, at the top of the page, there is a whole list of clickable links to all the SUBcategories for that category, so they can choose to explore deeper within that category and see at a glance all the topics available.

    How do I do this?

    Have a look at the various settings of the GD Categories widget.
    On the GD Archive page, for example add this:
    [gd_categories post_type=”0″ hide_empty=”1″ hide_count=”1″ sort_by=”count” max_level=”0″ max_count=”all” max_count_child=”all”]

    Thanks

    Perfect! Thank you!! Now, how do I customize the colors and size of the icons? It’s showing tiny icons and grey background.

    Ummmm, so I’m really confused right now…
    I was playing around with moving the elements around on the GD archive page. And now it’s all messed up. All I did was move the shortcode around! I didn’t actually change anything!

    According to the documentation, it SHOULD be that simple! Just move the code around!

    But look: https://homeschoolrealm.com/wordpress/businesses/category/kids-sports/

    Now the items have no space between them and the top one is by itself in a column??? Spacing is all wonky…Why???

    Oh nevermind about the colors…I figured that out…they were new subcategories that I hadn’t yet set the background color to white on them. DOH.

    But I do still need help with the wonky spacing issue. This is bizarre!

    Nevermind, I contacted the tech support on my theme, just in case it was a theme issue instead of a GD issue and they were able to give me a link on their site to the code to reset the page and it works again. Still not entirely sure how I managed to break it, but at least I know now how to fix again in the future should something like this happen again!
