I am looking for a plugin for Wordpress that will hide the child categories (subcategories) from my main page, and only show these subcategories to the user once they click onto the category's main page. I have been searching for a little while now and can't find anything that will work with Wordpress 2.5, does anyone know something that will do this?

page category plus does this and i've used it many a time. sometimes you have to hack the shit out of it to get it work correctly because i think the defaults are unordered list
Have you used this with Wordpress 2.5? I just installed it and it doesnt seem to be working correctly. When I go to the plugin page, its not displaying any posts or categories or anything.
I use the Folding categories Widget
Then add this on the next line after the start of your loop.
Then this on the line before you close the loop
You can see it in action at one of my sites in the side bar "Product Menu.
And yes, It's a ghost town. I stopped updating it to work on other things.
I'll get back to it someday
Actually I'm thinking of going in a different direction with it anyway.
Edit: Okay I think I miss understood what you were asking but it may still be helpful so I'll leave it.
Edit again: The code blocks will keep posts, posted in child categories from showing up in the parent categories so I think that's what you were asking.
Then add this on the next line after the start of your loop.
Code:
<? if ((is_category()) && in_category($wp_query->get_queried_object_id())) { ?>
Code:
<?php } ?>And yes, It's a ghost town. I stopped updating it to work on other things.
I'll get back to it someday

This one worked right off the bat for me. I didn't even need to modify the loop. Thanks, I was looking for that for like 25min before I posted, +rep.
Really? I always have to modify the loop or the child cat posts show up in the parent too... That's weird. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Oh well, As long as it works...
Unless you're talking about the category menu only and don't care if all the posts show up in the parent.
