Only Show Top Level Categories in Menu

Many people like myself have a HUGE hierarchy of categories in wordpress. This makes the menu loading a big slow due to the mySQL query. Here is how you can show only the top parent categories....

Open 'theme-functions.php' in '/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ot_plugins'

Find:

Code:

wp_list_categories(array('exclude' =>

Later in that line find:

Code:

'title_li' => 0, 'depth' => 2));

Replace:

Code:

With:

Code:
