Hi all.
I have a parent category page with several child-categories.
When on the parent category page, which runs off a unique template, I'd like to display the latest 5 posts from each of the child categories.
Is there a way to query posts which are children of a category? There seems to be a query for children of posts/pages, but I can't seem to make the same concept work using categories. The post/page parameter is used in the code I have so far below, although it doesn't work ('post_parent' parameter).
<?php
if ( is_category() ) {
$current_cat = get_query_var('cat');
wp_list_categories('&title_li=&show_count=1&child_of='.$current_cat);
}
?>
<?php
// The Query
query_posts( 'post_parent='.$current_cat );
// The Loop
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
echo '<li>';
the_title();
echo '</li>';
endwhile;
// Reset Query
wp_reset_query();
?>
Thanks for any help/suggestions
