   I want to display subcategories of current category in a widget. So i tested exec-php and "exec-php / hello world" works fine.

   The code I'm using (see below) works fine when hard-coded in the sidebar, but doesn't display anything when i put it in a text widget.

   I tried with no other active plugin, same result ...

   You can see the two widgets and the hard-coded result here, at the bottom of the sidebar.

   Any idea ? Thanks.

   <?php
   if (is_category()) {
     $this_category = get_category($cat);
     if (get_category_children($this_category->cat_ID) != "") {
       wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=0&title_li=
   &use_desc_for_title=1&child_of='.$this_category->cat_ID);
       }
   }
   ?>

   Thanks Otto, but i already tried it, and a bunch of other php plugins. I will try once more with php-code-widget, though, and after that i will bother you with the same problem on your plugin page ... ;)

   So, i tried again with php-code-widget. You can see the result at the same url : http://www.xarax.fr/wpfsc4/rubrique/democratisation-de-la-science/
   A php-code-widget "hello world", no problem so far. But the code i try to execute (see above) give no result. Same code hard-coded in the sidebar, no problem (bottom of the sidebar).

   Any idea from the Tech Ninja would be a great help ... ;)

   Your code doesn't have $cat defined. Where is that variable supposed to be coming from?

   Sorry Otto, but I've got no php skill at all ... The variable is the current category in the url ? What i don't understand is why this exact same code works fine when i don't use any plugin (when the code is in the sidebar template) and why it doesn't work with a "php-widget-plugin" ?
