    Have read extensively how to use a jQuery accordion in a custom theme I’m attempting. The accordion I’m trying to make would be all categories (and child cats) of id ‘4’ or name ‘programs’ Here’s what I have so far but not working. Function doesn’t seem to be used and is not nesting the cats either; even in the hardcoded attempt (see template below). Thx for any help you can offer.

        wp_deregister_script('jquery');
        wp_register_script('jquery', ('https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js'), false, '1.6.4');
        wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
        wp_deregister_script('jquery-ui');
        wp_register_script('jquery-ui', ('https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js'), false, '1.8.16');
        wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui');
    }

      'child_of' => 4,
      'display' => 'linear'
      );
    $categories=get_categories($args);
      foreach($categories as $category) {
        echo ' <a href="#">' . $category->name.'</a>';
      }
    ?>

    OK trying this syntax on the template instead: must work on the li part which needs to change to post entries..

    <?php $categories = get_categories('hide_empty=0&orderby=name&title_li=&child_of=4'); foreach ($categories as $cat) { ?>
			<dt><a href="#"<?php if ($cat->slug == 'photos') {?> class="customer-acquisitiontop" <?php } else {?>class="customer-acquisitiontop" <?php }?>id="<?php echo $cat->slug; ?>" data-filter=".<?php echo $cat->slug; ?>"><h2><?= $cat->cat_name; ?></h2></a></dt>
<dd class=" ">
  <ul class="row">
     <li class="<?php echo $cat->slug; ?>">
     </li>
  </ul>
</dd>
<?php
}
?>

                    //alternatively this also works:  'nopaging' => true
    $myposts = get_posts( $args );
    foreach( $myposts as $post ) :  setup_postdata($post);
            echo  '<li><a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '  style="color:#000" ">' . get_the_title($post->ID) . '</a></li>';
    endforeach;
            echo  '
                  <!--  <li><a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '">More...</a></li> -->
                    </ul>
                    <br />

    Got most of the WP dynamic code to pull correct data from the get cats tag so i’m closing out this post and starting a new one to link the template to the jQuery accordion (some of the code above still relevant).

    Used codex version for registering Ended up using hard coded scripts downloaded to theme. Still working on replacing with wp_enqueue_scripts.
