Need Some Help With Listing Subcategories

    Is there a way to do exactly what this code does here but have it dynamically pull the child_of value?

    Examples
    If I’m in the restaurants category or one of its child categories it should always display child categories of restaurants.
    Domain.com/category/restaurants/vietnamese/
    Domain.com/category/restaurants/

    <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=id&optioncount=0&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=1'); ?>

    Trying to avoid making a ton of category templates with the above code.

  • Try:

    <?php $my_cat_id = get_query_var('cat');;
wp_list_cats('sort_column=id&optioncount=0&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=' . $my_cat_id ); ?>

    I have a subcategory list on my categories pages.

    Example:

    Page /category/restaurants/
    Below code gives me the subcategory of my restaurants like i want

    Page /category/restaurants/vietnamese/
    Below code DOES NOT give me subcategory of restaurants.

    I want a list of restaurant subcategories on all categories pages child of restaurant

    What i have now!

    <?php $my_cat_id = get_query_var(‘cat’);;
    wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=id&optioncount=0&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=’ . $my_cat_id ); ?>

    So to complete the example. If your viewing the restaurants category and have subcategory options of American or German. You decide to click on German but after viewing the results you want to click on American but my menu currently doesn’t produce the options anymore because it is looking for subcategories of German not restaurants.

    ?? Help! Is this possible esmi? Anyone?

    Try:

    <?php $this_cat = get_category( get_query_var('cat') );
if( !$this_cat->parent )  $this_cat_id = $this_cat->term_id; // top level category
else $this_cat_id = $this_cat->parent; // child category so use parent
wp_list_cats('sort_column=id&optioncount=0&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=' . $this_cat_id ); ?>
