Such changes are almost never on purpose. In this case, I think the old behavior worked by accident and the change was the result of fixing something else. wp_list_pages() uses exclude_tree to exclude a page and its children. Perhaps we can add that for categories and have consistent arguments for cats and pages. _______________________________________________ wp-testers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
