 * I am trying this thing:
 *     ```
       <li>
       <a href="#subcategory-slug">Subcategory Name</a>
       </li>
       ```
   
 * and here is the code I am using:
 *     ```
       <li>
   
       				<?php $displayed = array();?>
       				<?php $my_query = new  WP_Query('category_name=Products&posts_per_page=9999');
       				while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
       				?>
   
       				<a href="<?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $category ) { if($category->parent != 0) { echo '#'. $category->category_nicename . ' '; } } ?>">
       				<?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $category ) { if($category->parent != 0) { echo $category->cat_name . ' '; } } ?></a>
   
       			</li>
       ```
   
 * It kind of work only if there is just one post per subcategory, but if there 
   are more then one post for the same category I get duplicate content:
 *     ```
       <li>
       <a href="#subcategory-slug">Subcategory Name</a>
       </li>
       <li>
       <a href="#subcategory-slug">Subcategory Name</a>
       </li>
       <li>
       <a href="#subcategory-slug">Subcategory Name</a>
       </li>
       ```
   
 * So my question is how to alter the code so for multiple post to the same subcategory
   it displays just once that subcategory?
