   I'm currently trying to list all child categories on a parent level category, with a depth of 1, and the same as you go down a level, until you get to the final sub category in the chain.

   I have this code working, but I desperately need to get the images I have set using your (awesome!) plugin. I'm pretty new to php so am struggling some what - can anyone give any help in how to alter this to achieve my desired result?

   <?php global $ancestor; // Declare global ancestor variable ?>
   <?php foreach ($categories as $cat) {
   	if ($cat->cat_ID != 1) { // If category is not uncategorized ...
   	if (cat_is_ancestor_of($ancestor, intval($cat->cat_ID)) == false) { // .. and if the previous category in the loop wasn't the ancestor of this one ... ?>
   		<h2><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($cat->cat_ID); ?>"><?php echo ($cat->cat_name); ?></a></h2>
   		<?php echo ( category_description($cat->cat_ID) );  ?>
   		<?php print apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-queried-term-image', '' ); ?>
   		<?php
   		$ancestor = intval($cat->cat_ID); }; // make this category the new ancestor
   		};
   	};
   ?>

   What function are you using to define the categories variable? If you are using on of the supported filters from the Taxonomy Images plugin, you can use $cat->image_id.

   Maybe:

   $categories = apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-get-terms', '' );

   I notice that you are using <?php print apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-queried-term-image', '' ); ?>. This should not be in loops ... it was designed to be used only in term archive templates like category.php and tags.php.

   Hi Michael

   Thanks for getting back to me. I actually pasted the wrong code, sorry! What I posted wasn't outputting the category details like I thought, it was: `<?php
   $cat = get_query_var('cat');

   $categories=get_categories('depth=1&child_of='.$cat);
   foreach($categories as $category) {
   echo $category->name;
   echo $category->description;
   }
   ?>`

   Sorry for my stupidity, but how would I incorporate your code into this? I have tried a few things without success.

   Maybe something like this might work (untested):

   $categories = apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-get-terms', '', array(
   	'term_args' => array(
   		'child_of' => $cat,
   		'depth'    => 1
   	)
   ) );

   Thanks Michael

   With a bit of fiddling I have managed to get images outputting. However I don't think I'm doing it right as it's listing all of the categories. The code I have is:

   <?php
   $cat = get_query_var('cat');
   $categories = apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-get-terms', '', array(
   	'term_args' => array(
   		'child_of' => $cat,
   		'depth'    => 1
   	)
   ) );
   foreach($categories as $category) {
   echo $category->name;
   echo $category->description;
   echo wp_get_attachment_image( $category->image_id, 'detail' );
   }
   ?>

   Still learning php so sorry if there's something glaringly obvious!
