   + Hi there... I have been digging around to make this happen, and It seems a little far fetched of a plan...

   I am trying to write the php so that when you click on a link to a category page, it then displays this:

   Category Title (the name of the link i just clicked on)

   _ Child 1 -show cat_title

   __ SubChild A -show cat_title
   ___ -show all post_titles

   __ SubChild B -show cat_title
   ___ -show all post_titles

   __ SubChild C -show cat_title
   ___ -show all post_titles

   _Child 2 -show cat_title

   __ SubChild A -show cat_title
   ___ -show all post_titles

   __ SubChild B -show cat_title
   ___ -show all post_titles

   _Child 3 -show cat_title

   __ SubChild A -show cat_title
   ___ -show all post_titles

   __ SubChild B -show cat_title
   ___ -show all post_titles

   you think it it is possible?

   Does this make sense? Is it too easy of a question? Or is it not worded clear enough?

   Try this
   
<?php single_cat_title(); ?>
<?php $catId = get_query_var( 'cat' ); ?>
<?php wp_list_cats( 'child_of=' . $catId ); ?>

   It doesn't display the Posts in the category, though

   It was able to display that whole tree of information for me, thank you.... I am still looking for a way to have that last level child display post_titles...
   I can see that it would be hard...

   maybe it is a matter of changing this line to include a call for post titles?
   <?php wp_list_cats( 'child_of=' . $catId ); ?>

   Can someone describe for me, what the PHP is actually dong here?

   <?php $catId = get_query_var( 'cat' ); ?>
   <?php wp_list_cats( 'child_of=' . $catId ); ?>

   I am assuming that it is:

   getting the current category ID, and making a search for all of the categories within .
   Then, it is listing the categories, including the children of those categories, by ID.

   (assuming that my translation is correct)
   is it possible to have something that says -

   Now with each list of child categories that are sorted by ID, Show all available posts_titles.

   I am digging around, and this is basically what I am searching for. So if i am way off base here about what is possible with PHP let me know.

   Nothing is impossible; it's just a matter whether I want to bother with it. You just need to modify WP's list_cats to grab the corresponding Posts as it traverses the categories.

   yes, i am sure that it is not impossible, nor am I asking someone to do it for me.
   Thank you. I will continue to look into modifying the list_cats.
