Hey Hazel,

Are you referring to the text that says "0 subcategories" in the module? That option in the module is not for that particular text. By enabling the option "Exclude Subcategories", the module would not include subcategories.

If you want to remove that text, you may edit the file /modules/mod_easydiscusscategories/tmpl/tree_item.php and remove the codes below:

[gist]
<li data-breadcrumb="·"><?php echo ED::themes()->getNouns('MOD_DISCUSSIONSCATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_COUNT', $category->totalSubcategories, true);?></li>
[/gist]

Hi,

the exclude subcategories option does not work.
I removed the indicated line of text

Sorry but I don't get you. What is not working? That option is not to hide that line of text. That option is to not include subcategories in the categories module.

When I do not want to include subcategories, because I have none, the phrase "0 subcategories" appears anyway

Yes, that is not configurable currently, we'll add a new settings for this in the next release
