General Questions/New to Joomla! 5.x • Re: How to prevent Category List from showing articles of subcategories

You're saying that despite Category levels set to "none" it still shows the sub-category items with no links)?

No. There's been some confusion here. I said that with that option set to "None", the sub-category articles are still listed in the table, but the sub-category links that go after the table are removed. I want the opposite: the table should only list articles in the top category, and I want to keep the sub-category links after the table, because that's how the user should get to the other sub-category articles.

Please provide a link demonstrating the issue. Create two sample pages for each setting as you have described above. Perhaps changing the levels option, you then need to clear the joomla and browser caches?

Sorry, can't provide links now because I'm testing it locally, the site's not online yet. Could get some screenshots though if it helps.

This doesn't seem to address the issue: https://docs.joomla.org/Help4.x:Menu_It ... ry_List/en. All it says about category levels is how many sub-category levels to display but nothing about whether it enables links or not (as per your description).

The option I set to "None" is actually called "Subcategory Levels. Control how many levels of subcategories to show", and can be found in the "Category" tab (4th option). It controls whether or not to show links to sub-categories after the article table list. What I want is to control the articles shown in the table. I don't want Joomla to list them all recursively. I want only top-level articles to appear. So, for example:
When creating a Category List type menu pointing to the "Vehicles" category, I'd like to have this:
But instead, what I'm getting is this:
Setting "Subcategory Levels" to "None" just removes the link to the "Motorcycles" sub-category, the table stays the same.
