    I’m fairly new to wordpress so I apologise if this is simple to achieve. I’ve searched the forums and been through the documentation but still unable to find a solution to what I’m trying to achieve.

    I’m developing a personal site / blog for someone. They would like to have a main heading and list relevant categories / sub categories underneath. For example.

    — Category Heading —

    Category
    – Sub category

    — Category Heading 1 —

    Category 1
    – Sub category 1

    and so on….

    Hope this makes sense. any help appreciated. Thanks.

  • The Template Tag, wp_list_cats(), and the hierarchical parameter may work for you.

    Thanks Michael I’ll check that out – Have been through the templates sections. Perhaps I should review it more carefully.

    checked that out and not working for me…

    Basically just need to display categories under a heading like:

    –H1– Pilgrims Progress –H1–

    -On the way
    –photos of camino

    -Flashbacks
    –photos of columbia

    -Conversations
    –photos of people

    –H2– The Inner Pilgrim –H2–

    -Living Options
    -Chapter & Verse
    -Favourites
    -surreal

    I tried using the use_desc_for_title=1 but that had no affect.

    This post is asking a similar thing: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/29161

    I’m a little unsure how to implement the tags /any help appreciated/

    Thanks in advance.

    Anyone – HELP! 🙂

    “I’m a little unsure how to implement the tags”

    Might want to check out some of the articles in Category:Design_and_Layout.

    “the hierarchical parameter”

    (boolean) Sets whether to display child (sub) Categories in a hierarchical (after parent) list.

    Valid values:
    TRUE (Default)
    FALSE


    I have already achieved this. i.e. child categories already appear under thier respective parent categories.

    I just want an (un-linked) text heading above main sections ?

    I would of thought that use_desc_title would be more appropriate ? however I’ve been unsuccessful in implementing as yet.

    Thanks for your help so far.

    I’m also looking to implement this on pages menu. So I have main heading sections and linked pages to WP generated pages below.

    Resolved this by using the show ‘child_of=’ and creating static headings <using H2>
