Small PHP problem

    I have the following code which basically gets the name and link of the sub category of category ID 1 and then echoes that out. I’m sure this is a very very simple PHP issue but I don’t know how to get it so that all of it is contained within the link. So it currently looks like this:

    View all Art projects (with only “Art” being the link) whereas I want all of “View all Art projects” to be the link

    <li><?php _e( 'View all', 'mytheme' ); ?> <?php
foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
if (cat_is_ancestor_of(1, $childcat)) {
echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($childcat->cat_ID).'">';
 echo $childcat->cat_name . '</a>';
}}
?> <?php _e( 'Projects', 'mytheme' ); ?></li>

    Really hope someone can help with this?

    Everything to be included in a link needs to go just before the closing </a> tag.

    Please try this:

    <li>
   <?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
      if (cat_is_ancestor_of(1, $childcat)) {
         echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($childcat->cat_ID).'">';
         _e( 'View all', 'mytheme' );
         echo $childcat->cat_name;
         _e( 'Projects', 'mytheme' );
         echo '</a>';
      }
   }
   ?>
</li>

    Thanks so much for this.

    Just one question. It now doesn’t have any spacing i.e. it comes out as:

    View allArtProjects

    How do I go about adding the spaces?

    Sorry about that. Just add a space in ‘View all’ and ‘Projects’ like this: ‘View all ‘ and ‘ Projects’.
