Category widget displays more categories than are relevant to the given page. This feature appeared to be working correctly, but after some testing now displays as in screenshot 1. Our understanding is that it should display only selected category for the page -- the relevant categories for the briefing in the example are shown in screenshot 2. Please clarify if this understanding is incorrect.

@DBishton I cannot reproduce this in my development environment. Perhaps we can deploy the latest version and see what happens?

I view the briefing page, I think it has a list of the category twice, one is on the top and one is on the right sidebar. @DBishton, could you explain what are the different?

Hi @Huyeng,

I believe the categories displayed at the top of the page are the
categories that have been selected for the page. In this case, an editor
would have checked "Electricity", "Energy", "Energy policy and
Administration" for this briefing.

The bar on the should always show:

• Categories which have no parents (top level categories)
• An 'expanded' hierarchical view of all categories in the current top
  level category (e.g. every category under "Energy" in the example above)
• Highlighting of the categories applied to the page (e.g. "Electricity",
  "Energy", "Energy policy and Administration" in the example above)

Thanks!

This is a problem with the configuration itself.

Thanks @mishari,

That may explain some of the inconsistencies we were witnessing previously. However, the "OD Taxonomy" widget does not perform the functions we need it to -- please see my comment to Huy Eng above for the intended behaviour.
