  • Here’s what I did, I made a custom category page for each of my parent categories. For my parent category with a category ID of 26, I created a file called category-26.php from category.php and replaced the code to get the posts with this, which will list the subcategories of the parent:

    <ul><?php wp_list_categories('child_of=26&orderby=name&show_count=0&title_li='); ?></ul>

    Create a category description for each category (Edit categories) , and it will show when you hover over a category link, or can be displayed with this:

    <?php echo category_description(); ?>

    Here are some WordPress pages with more info:

    can u give me you blog to see it in action ?
    this is way to complicated. i have to do about:

    20 cats – 200 subcats – and around 500 subsubcats + the post included.

    should i go to a CMS ?

    Having that many categories… defies the whole idea of categorization. Having a separate category for almost every post – it is exactly like not having any categories.
    I mean that wouldn’t make sense in any other CMS either.
