WP plugin: Kinderlose

posted on November 30, 2007  (Update: January 9, 2008)

Kinderlose is not just an unusually-named* WordPress 2.3 plugin, but one with a very simple mission (which is good, because it’s a very small plugin): It removes posts from any possible child categories under a (presumed parent) category archive.

Inspired by Michael D. “mdawaffe” Adams’ Just One Category and Rich Hamilton’s No SubCats plugins, Kinderlose came into being because there didn’t seem to be a similar solution supported under WordPress 2.3. Well, now there is.

Installation and use is simple: Download kinderlose.php, upload the file to your wp-content/plugins/ directory, and activate Kinderlose under Plugins. That’s it. Kinderlose will know what to do from there.

Note: Kinderlose for you non-German speakers out there (it’s ok, I barely speak it myself) means “childless” — which pretty much describes the purpose for the plugin, don’t you think? Hey, better than calling it Kindesmorde

Update [Jan-09-2008] R1.0.1 - Fix to avoid erasing the post type/status data from the query. Oops. Props to Kai Ackermann for reporting the bug.

Thank you for your perfectly sized perfectly suite wordpress plugin. - I’ve been posting over on wordpress.org/support for a while trying to come up with a solution, when someone pointed me in your direction.
