    Hi

    I am trying to get the last child category of a post

    For example here is my category

    Main Category
    > Child Cat
    >> Child of Child Cat
    >>>>Child of Child of Child Cat

    Now whenever I try to get the post child cat
    the_category("", "single", $post->ID)

    it only returns Child of Child Cat. Its not returning the last category.

    I tried various other methods too found on the web, but each time the max access I get is up to Child of Child Cat.

    Could anyone suggest a good code to grab the last child category id of a post in this case >>>>Child of Child of Child Cat

    Thank you

  • Try this:

    <?php
    $category = get_the_category($post->ID);
    echo end($category)->cat_name;
    ?>

    This will echo the last child category.

    Thank you for your solution
    But this also returns one point above. Its not returning the Child of Child of Child Cat ID.

    With your solution too it returns >> Child of Child Cat ID

    Any suggestions?
