toggling categories

[loccom]

Hi guys

is there a way to toggle categories to be closed by default? One of our categories section has a long list of forums for each category and some categories are not relevant so to prevent scrolling down we would like to close some caetgories by default and let the user toggle the right category for them.

 

thanks

This is something you would need to have coded int a custom theme. It's not something you can do within the software itself.

Do you know if this would be bad for SEO by having them closed??

I would advise working with an SEO consultant if you have any concerns here. Generally speaking, hidden items are generally excluded or frowned upon by Search Engines (as people often did this to rank for things their website wasn't about) but an expert will be able to advise you more in depth on how this would impact you.
