Is there a way to list the parent category with the child categories? I am currently trying to create a sidebar that looks something like this:
Parent Category
Child Cat 1
Child Cat 2
Child Cat 3
However I can only find listing codes that either list the parent category or the children.
<?php wp_list_categories('use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=24'); ?>
The code above I'm using I tried adding include=24& but that did nothing, also how do I get rid of the title 'categories' I tried the usual title=li but that didn't work either.
Any help appreciated, thankyou!
Use this:
<?php wp_list_categories('include=24,'.implode(',',get_term_children(24, 'category')).'&title_li='); ?>

One more question, as a bonus. I'm using current-cat to highlight the current category as a different colour.
On the parent it highlights all of the children as well, is there a way that on the parent category page it will only highligh the parent in the list or not?
Two easier methods I can think of:
1. Depending on how it's highlighted, you can write the CSS so that it "un-highlight" the children because the children categories are a list within a list.
2. If the parent category is created before the children (lower integer ID), you can make it so that the children are not a list within the parent by setting
hierarchical=0
orderby=ID
Note that the children categories will no longer be listed alphabetically after the parent unless they were created in an alphabetical order.

This works in CSS:
#sidebar li.current_page_item a{color: #00ADEE;}
#sidebar ul.children a{margin: 0px 0px 0 20px; #808184;}
(:
thanks
