How to display posts by subcategories

You cannot do that without creating some custom Category_Templates and custom multiple Loops in it.

Well I have a custom category template, and a custom loop already to call the posts in the category. What I’m not sure of is how to create a second loop that will return the posts by their subcategory.

Any suggestions?

Hmmm… There must be something wrong in your setup because you don’t need any special custom Loop in a category template! WP knows better what to display there than you do…

You’re not really helping.

I’ve found about 5 posts asking the exact same question (including mine) and no one has an answer ??

Is this really that hard?

I wrote this up at my site WordPressIntoCMS.com. I hope this is what you were after.

Many people on the www.ads-software.com support forum are asking how to do this.

Here is the simple solution I came across. It will allow you to display the title of a child category without displaying the parent category.

Put this code in your template:

[php]<?php
$category = get_the_category();
echo $category[1]->cat_name;
?>[/php]

(Adapted from this code at www.ads-software.com.)

The [1] tells it not to pull the parent category which would be [0] but instead to pull the child category which is [1]. If your hierarchy contains more layers simply change the number accordingly.

I’ve just come across this post, and I’ve been asking the same thing. @cakeychan, there must be some kind of way to do this dynamically, that should be the benefit of a dynamic application.
@moshu, please have a little more patience with us noobs. We are only asking for help.
