Here’s category.php:

<?php
/**
 * @package Serene
 * @since Serene 1.0
 */

get_header();

if ( have_posts() ) :
	while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
		get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
	endwhile;

	get_template_part( 'includes/navigation', 'index' );
else:
	//get_template_part( 'includes/no-results', 'index' );
	$cat=get_query_var('cat');
	$args = array(
	'orderby' => 'name',
	'parent' => $cat,
	'order' => 'ASC'
	);
	$categories = get_categories($args);
	foreach($categories as $category) {
	echo '<p>Category: <a href="' . get_category_link( 	$category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> </p> ';
	echo '<p> Description:'. $category->description . '</p>';
	}
endif;

get_footer(); ?>

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I’m not looking to do a dropdown menu; what I’m looking for is that each category page shows a list of categories, unless it is the lowest level category; in which case, it shows the posts.
If necessary; I’ll have to modify my theme and do this in PHP. Just was kindaa hoping there would be an easier way, given that WP is supposed to be point n’ click… or am I perhaps just getting lazy?

Thanks for that – Am experimenting with contact form 7 and it looks like it will better meet my needs, so have decided to use that. Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
