You’re on the right track with using a form, the only thing you’re missing, you have to submit what you have selected. For example like this: <form method=”GET” action=””> <div> <?php $select = wp_dropdown_categories(‘show_option_none=Select category&orderby=name&echo=0’); $select = preg_replace(“#<select([^>]*)>#”, “<select$1 onchange=”return this.form.submit()”>”, $select); echo $select; ?> <noscript> <div> <input type=”submit” value=”View” /> </div> </noscript> </div> </form> … Read more

I am going to use this code in several places, so it is more efficient to create a function function exclude_cats($excludedcats = array()){ $categories = get_the_category(); $separator=”, “; $output=””; foreach($categories as $category) { if ( !in_array($category->cat_ID, $excludedcats) ) { $output .= ‘term_id ).'” title=”‘ . esc_attr( … Read more

The following code changes all links to category archives so they don’t include the parent category: add_filter( ‘category_link’, ‘wpse7807_category_link’, 10, 2 ); function wpse7807_category_link( $catlink, $category_id ) { global $wp_rewrite; $catlink = $wp_rewrite->get_category_permastruct(); if ( empty( $catlink ) ) { $catlink = home_url(‘?cat=” . $category_id); } else { $category = &get_category( $category_id ); $category_nicename = … Read more
