Styling Category Levels in WordPress (video)
Assigning unique styles to each category level in WordPress requires you to insert the following classes in your stylesheet:
- Top level: .cat-item a { }
- Second level: .cat-item ul li a { }
- Third level: .cat-item ul ul li a { }
I created a five-minute video showing how the addition of these category classes to your WordPress stylesheet will change the style of each category level.
I also uploaded it to Vimeo, although the quality isn't as good.
