COLLAPSABLE CATEGORIES

[metade]

How I can I make it just so the "CATEGORY" Box would show all even the subcategories?

[Rachael w.]

Here is one of my sites includes/boxes/categories.php. It works, but if you sub-sub-categories, they do not show with this code (its pretty old code, maybe someone will elaborate if they've used similar). I just had one level of subcategories, so this works for me.

You'll also need to add this to your stylesheet (and edit it to fit your preference)
