   hey guys,

   here's my problem..
   i have added 5 parent categories with like 5subcategories under each
   example
   -Products
   --TV
   --RADIO
   --GAMES
   etc

   what i want is to get the level 2 categories to be displayed under the category listing page. it's kinda easy, since i have done this a few weeks ago, but anytime i click on a subcategory, the list gets empty, since it tries to pull out the subcategories of the subcategories again.

   so, here's what i want
   i want to get a static level 2 category list to be displayed only. so, when i click products, i want to see the subcategories only, if i click a subcategory, i want to get the same list as before.

   any help appreciated!

   kind regards,
   zerovic

   ok well, i couldn't sleep last night, so i have played around with the codes ;)
   here's the solution!

   <h4>Categories</h4>
   <ul class='xoxo blogroll'>

   <?php
   $parentCatList = get_category_parents($cat,false,',');
   $parentCatListArray = split(",",$parentCatList);
   $topParentName = $parentCatListArray[0];
   $id = get_cat_id($topParentName);
   wp_list_cats('sort_column=id&optioncount=0&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=' . $id);
   ?>

   kind ragards,

   zerovic you're great!!! solve my issue about show posts in child cats calling from parent cat ID.
   if any one looking that I let the code I use.

   <?php
   $temp = $wp_query;
   $wp_query = null;
   $wp_query = new WP_Query();
   $parentCatList = get_category_parents($cat,false,',');
   $parentCatListArray = split(",",$parentCatList);
   $topParentName = $parentCatListArray[0];
   $id = get_cat_id($topParentName);
   $wp_query->query('cat='.$id.'&order=ASC');
   ?>
   
   <?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
   
   //Stuff
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   <?php $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $temp;?>

   That´s it, beautiful!
   Cya
