DESCRIPTION

Sleek Cats replaces post categories with a breadcrumb-style hierarchical list that contains no repeats of parent categories.

The native WordPress function for listing categories comes with an option to show parent-child relations.  This involves a lot of repetition, however, so that instead of just X > Y > Z it shows X, X > Y, and X > Y > Z.

Sleek Cats renders the hierarchical list as just X > Y > Z.  

If you have placed the post in multiple top level categories, then they will all be shown, divided by a separator (X, T).  If you place the post in hierarchical categories and another top level category, that category will be shown, divided from the hierarchical string by a separator (X > Y > Z, T).  If you have placed a post in more than one child category under the same parent then Sleek Cats will display both strings (X > Y, X > Q).   The default separator is a break tag. 


CHANGING THE DEFAULT SEPARATOR
By default, the separator between strings of categories is a line break.  If you wish to use something different, open up sleek-cats.php and look on line 15, where it says: $sep = "<br/>";

Change <br/> to your prefered separator (a comma or a pipe or anything else you prefer).  Make sure that any spacing you want is inside the quotes, for example ", " or " | ".
