    Hi,

    I was wondering if there was a way to have multiple category sections in wordpress. For Example

    - Movies
    movie 1
    movie 2
    movie 3
    etc..

    - Music
    song 1
    song 2
    song 3
    etc..

    - Trailers
    trailer 1
    trailer 2
    trailer 3
    etc...

    I don't think so any plugin is needed for this, the simple category structure at WP allows this. For instance, You've created a Category Movies (leave the category parent blank), now create Movie 1 and put 'movies' under the head of category parent.

    yes it is possible, but each block would have to be manually added to the sidebar.

    something like this would do it

    etc etc

    change the number in bold to the id of the category.

    as far as i concern, you dont need to add it manually. Just use parent categories function and all the child will follow up

    Yeah I think your right RAMZWATCHER = nothing needs to be added. Just use the parent categories, then add a new category to the parents and it will show up as a sub cat.
