HACK: wp_dropdown_categories (will pay$ for code)
-
If anyone can figure this out I will PayPal you $50 for your troubles.
(I know you have to take me at my word, but you might note that I have been a long-time member of this forum, and I’m here to stay)I realize that normally cash isn’t offered on this forum, but my question is rather unorthodox, and could be more complex than I thought (and I’m quite desperate). If you feel like this problem is worth more than $50, I’ll be willing to negotiate.
If you’d rather deal with me directly, please email me at: volleyballmaniac [at] gmail . com

You will notice on the above page that you are looking at the “Irish Pub” category.
On the right-hand sidebar, you will notice a “Choose Location” dropdown. This was generated using the wp_dropdown_categories function. I set the parameters to return all sub-categories under the ‘Location’ category AND to show sub-categories only if they have at least one post. (Please select a location to see how I’m using it).
It works as designed, but here is my issue: It lists ALL ‘Location’ sub-categories that have a single post EVEN if they don’t have a post in the “Irish Pub” category. So if a user clicks on “Agat”, they are taken to my custom “No Posts in this Category” Page. This can get very irritating for the user.
Instead of listing ALL ‘Location’ sub-categories that have at least one post, I ONLY want it to list ‘Location’ sub-categories that have at least one post in the “Irish Pub” category as well.
So if there are no Irish Pubs in “Agat”, then I don’t want “Agat” showing up in the drop-down.
RANDOM NOTES:
– I had a notion that I could auto-populate the ‘exclude’ parameter of wp_dropdown_categories, based on the present category being viewed, but I’ve no idea how to code this.
