I have been working on a wordpress theme recently and suddenly i felt the need to show up only top level categories (parent only) and disable all subcategories.

Eventually it was so easy with wordpress using wp_list_categories function. All you have to do is set the depth=1 to show only top level categories and disable all subcategories. Thats it!

wp_list_categories(‘depth=1&title_li=’);
