Need Some Help With Listing Subcategories
-
Is there a way to do exactly what this code does here but have it dynamically pull the child_of value?
Examples
If I’m in the restaurants category or one of its child categories it should always display child categories of restaurants.
Domain.com/category/restaurants/vietnamese/
Domain.com/category/restaurants/<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=id&optioncount=0&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=1'); ?>
Trying to avoid making a ton of category templates with the above code.

Try:
<?php $my_cat_id = get_query_var('cat');; wp_list_cats('sort_column=id&optioncount=0&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=' . $my_cat_id ); ?>
This is very close to what i am looking for. The only issue now is that when i am on a child category of restaurants i still want restaurant categories to show up. Am i explaining this ok? LOL
Thanks for your help!
I have a subcategory list on my categories pages.
Example:
Page /category/restaurants/
Below code gives me the subcategory of my restaurants like i wantPage /category/restaurants/vietnamese/
Below code DOES NOT give me subcategory of restaurants.I want a list of restaurant subcategories on all categories pages child of restaurant
What i have now!
<?php $my_cat_id = get_query_var(‘cat’);;
wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=id&optioncount=0&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=’ . $my_cat_id ); ?>So to complete the example. If your viewing the restaurants category and have subcategory options of American or German. You decide to click on German but after viewing the results you want to click on American but my menu currently doesn’t produce the options anymore because it is looking for subcategories of German not restaurants.
🙁 Help! Is this possible esmi? Anyone?
Try:
<?php $this_cat = get_category( get_query_var('cat') ); if( !$this_cat->parent ) $this_cat_id = $this_cat->term_id; // top level category else $this_cat_id = $this_cat->parent; // child category so use parent wp_list_cats('sort_column=id&optioncount=0&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=' . $this_cat_id ); ?>
You Are a life save ESMI!!!
