• The goal is to display parent name as top title for posts in child categories. This is what I’ve come so far:

    <?php $categories = get_categories("child_of=64"); foreach ($categories as $cat) { ?>
    <?php $parentcat = $cat->category_parent; echo get_cat_name($parentcat);?>
    <?php query_posts("cat=$cat->cat_ID&orderby=ID&order=ASC"); ?>
    
    .....the loop....

    So the parent name is there ($parentcat), but because the parent category (cat=64) has 2 child, the parent name appear twice. What I need is like:

    <h2>Parent Category Name</h2>
    <h3>1st Child Name</h3>
    <content>
    <h3>2nd Child Name</h3>
    <content>
    etc….

    please help….
