I have 7 Categories (parents), and every category has 15 sub-categories.
When I select some category (parent), I want to display only sub-categories (children) of that particular parent category (parent).
After I click on sub-category (child) then it should display its posts only.
I have a fron_page.php
and category.php
.
How can I write this to first show sub-categories separately, then post of that sub-category separately in new file, which user want to see.
This code should help you:
<ul>
<?php
$cats = get_the_category();
$mycat = $cats->cat_ID;
wp_list_categories('orderby=id&child_of='.$mycat);
?>
</ul>
OR
<?php
if (is_category()) {
$cat = get_query_var('cat');
$this_category = get_category($cat);
$this_category = wp_list_categories('hide_empty=0&hierarchical=true&orderby=id&show_count=0&title_li=&use_desc_for_title=1&child_of='.$this_category->cat_ID."&echo=0");
if($this_category !='<li>No categories</li>')
{
echo '<ul>'.$this_category.'</ul>';
}
}
?>
Let me know please.
Good luck! :)
1) Showing only Subcategories:
<?php
// if the page visitor views is a category page
if (is_category())
{
$cur_cat = get_query_var('cat');
if ($cur_cat)
{
$new_cats = wp_list_categories('echo=false&child_of=' . $cur_cat . '&depth=1&title_li=&&show_count=1&hide_empty=0');
echo '<ul>' . $new_cats . '</ul>';
}
}
?>
2) Showing All Top Categories:
<?php
wp_list_categories('depth=1&title_li=&exclude=1&show_count=1&hide_empty=0');
?>
3) Showing All Top Categories + Subcategories like a Tree menu:
Use plugin, called FoCal
