  When editing a post the categories list shows flat, except for those categories already associated with the current post. Why is this and can it be fixed in anyway.

  Detail:
  Say in the category configuration I have:

  Parent1
  — Child1.1
  — Child1.2
  Parent2
  — Child2.1
  — Child2.2

  And then say I have a post with Post associated with Parent1+Child1.1. In the categories list when editing that post the list shows:
  X Parent1
  X — Child1.1
  Child1.2
  Child2.1
  Child2.2
  Parent2

  Not optimal

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Note: this is for a wordpress.org blog (not .com)… which is where I started posting this

  Hi. You should then ask at http://wordpress.org/support/

  There is a world of difference between WP.com and WP.org, so our answers would not apply to your situation.
