hi guys! hope someone could help me out here,
I created child categories that belong to a single parent category.
for example:
parent-category - free wordpress themes
child-categories - black, white, author1, author2
what i want to appear in my archive page:
Archives by color
black
white
Archives by Author
author1
author2
how can i achieve this? thanks
Wouldn't tags work better here?
hi esmi, i already made it in category, if not, how would using tags solve this problem? what i want to do is display those lists in my archive page, thanks
Why not make use of WP 2.8's custom taxonomies. There are couple of good tutorials on this subject:

how would using tags solve this problem
Just thinking that you could have a tag page for "white", one for "black" etc.

Can you not go a level deeper like this
-parent-category
--colour
---black
---white
--author
---author1
---author2
etc...
Never tried this before, but this is how I would approach it to begin with
@kichu thanks for that solution but id rather use a much simpler code rather that more tasks. thanks.
@jadedstudio, @esmi,
based on kubrick's archives.php, i'm using
<h2>Archives by Subject:</h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_categories('title_li'); ?>
</ul>using <?php wp_list_categories('title_li'); ?> will display all list of categories right?
i wanted to split it so i could display:
<h2>Archives by designer</h2>
<ul>
designer1, designer2, ...
</ul><h2>Archives by design</h2>
<ul>
design1, design2, ...
</ul>designers and design are defined as child categories of free wordpress themes
how would i do this?
The only thing I can think of is to use the child_of parameter with wp_list_categories.
