If else statement for category

    I need to create an if else statement (I think) so that when the user is in a category that has sub categories, they will not see posts… However when they are in a subcategory with NO child categories, I would like them to see the posts then.

    So far I’ve got it working, however it shows the posts regardless of if there are sub categories.

    To show these sub categories I’ve used this code: https://pastebin.com/NEZuwCem

    To show the posts, I’ve just used the wordpress loop: https://pastebin.com/m0LSpHjt

    I just need some help combining the two into an if else statement (I haven’t got much php experience).

    Many thanks in advance!!

    Hey

    All you have to do is to check if the current category has parent or not, something like this:

    <?php
$children = get_categories( array('parent' => get_query_var('cat')) );
if (!empty($children)) {
// the current category has children
}
else {
// the current category has no children categories so you can display posts loop goes here
}
?>
