Displaying category in sidebar

  • Hi, in my wordpress blog there are 4 main categories and under these main categories there are lots of sub categories… whenever users are in any main category, then it should display sub categories which are under that main category… it should not display sub categories from other main categories…

    please help me how to do this ?

    You are describing how WordPress sidebar menu lists behave naturally, but it sounds as if you want to have an accordion-style menu? You’ll need to search for a plugin that will do that for you.

    wordpress is not doing this naturally… it is displaying all the sub categories… i don’t want to display all the subcategories, i only want to display subcategories under the current main category…

    i don’t want accordion style menu…

    What I mean is that wordpress naturally displays ALL the subcategories of every category in the sidebar list. That is the default behaviour.

    For you to display only the subcategories of a category that is being viewed you will need to use a plugin with the appropriate jquery script.

    all the sidebar items are coded by me… i am not using any widget… is there anyother way, like getting parent category id from url and listing category using the wordpress list category function ?

    I’m sure it would be possible, but it sounds like such unnecessary complications that I would never do it that way, so I have no idea.

    Perhaps we’d have a better idea with a link to the blog in question?

    I suggest you take a look at these plugins to see if one of those will do what you want.
