Partial Category List Problem

  • I have a section of my blog that uses a partial list of my categories using wp_list_cats(). The code looks like this


    <?php wp_list_cats ('child_of=27&sort_column=name'); ?>

    This used to return the category links that I wanted in WP 1.2.1, but doesn’t work now that I have upgraded to 1.5, it doesn’t return any text at all. I have played around with the code and found that the child_of parameter is the one that is causing me the problem. What can I do to get this working again?

    I read that page before I posted my question. As far as I can tell, the default values for the other parameters should not affect the behavior of the child_of parameter. What am I missing?

    I have same problem. With child_of, wp_list_cats WP doesn’t return any link ??

    i’m running into the same problem and searched the forums for this fix, so i suppose it hasn’t been addressed yet.

    i’ve come up with the following with the following workaround:

    in wp-includes/template-functions-category.php search for
    $extra_fields = 'cat_name, category_nicename, category_description,';

    and afterwards place the following:

    if ($child_of != 0) {
    $extra_fields = 'cat_name, category_nicename, category_description,category_parent,';
    }

    seems to work so far…

    rsramirez – I can’t find the code you’ve posted in template-functions-general.php – I’ve tried a “Find and Replace” search using different portions. Could you possibly give line numbers? Any help would be most appreciated

    rsramirez says it is in the template-functions-CATEGORY, not general…
