Showing related sub-subcategory posts

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find an answer for an issue that I have been having for a while now, and unfortunately I have not found any solutions for my problem. What I am trying to accomplish is to show related posts of a subcategory that is being called in a sub-child page. Here’s the navigation hierarchy:

Parent page: Projects
Child page: Hospitality
Sub-child page(s): X, Y, Z

————-
PROJECTS
–Hospitality
—-X
—-Y
—-Z
————-

I have the navigation hierarchy configured where the child page name has its own category name (parent category), and the sub-child page has its own category name (child category). I want to be able to show posts of a specific parent category in the child page, and posts of a specific child category in the sub-child page. I managed to display the posts of the child page the way I want it to be, but am having difficulty with displaying specific posts of the child category in the sub-child page.

Here’s the specific code I’m working on for my child category page:

backticks

<?php $orig_post = $post;
global $post;
$categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
if ($categories) {
$category_ids = array();
foreach($categories as $individual_category) $category_ids[] = $individual_category->term_id;

$args=array(
‘category__in’ => $category_ids,
‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID),
‘posts_per_page’=> -1, // Number of related posts that will be shown.
‘caller_get_posts’=>1,
‘orderby’ => rand
);

$my_query = new wp_query( $args );
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
echo ‘<div id=”related_posts”><h3>Related Projects</h3>

‘;
while( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
$my_query->the_post();?>

<div class=”pleft”>
<h3>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class=”relatedthumb”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div>
<div class=”relatedcontent”>

</div>
</div>
<?
}
echo ‘
</div>’;
}
}
$post = $orig_post;
wp_reset_query(); ?>

backticks

I’ve seen the code way too many times and am just tired… Would love the fresh eyes and assistance!

Thanks!
