i have the same problem

found a solution here:
https://www.screenshine.net/blog/1474_wordpress-plugin-show-active-category

with the changed foreach-loop:

foreach (wp_get_post_categories($post->ID) as $catid) {
if (preg_match('#cat-item-' . $catid . '"#', $text)) {
$text = str_replace('cat-item-' . $catid . '"', 'cat-item-' . $catid . ' current-cat"', $text);
}
}

nope. writes nothing..

everything else is fine. i just need the parent category. and best outside any loop.

echo(get_category_parents($cat, TRUE, ' » '));

writes for example
category >>
subcat
post
subcat
post
category >> subcategory

no, that is not the problem.:)

the problem is that the function :
echo "<h1>". $cat->name . "</h1>";
writes 2 categories. one at the beginning – which is good and one at the end (which is a subcategory in category-style) .

i think the foreach function is placed wrong. hope u know what i mean.
thx anyway

a little problem..the result is perfect.. just one tiny little thing:

at the end (have a look:
https://www.goodandbad.net/sport-akustik/limited/perfekte-akustik-im-fur-forschung-und-lehre/)
it writes one subcategory (presse)with with the style of the category (<h2>)

but i just want to display the parent category with <h2> on top (Ltd.)

<?php
$post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( $post->ID );
foreach($post_categories as $c){
  $cat = get_category( $c );
  echo "<h1>". $cat->name . "</h1>";
  $childCats = get_categories( array('child_of' => $c) );
  if(is_array($childCats)):
    foreach($childCats as $child){ ?>
        <h2><?php echo $child->name; ?></h2>
<?php
        query_posts('cat='.$child->term_id);
        while(have_posts()): the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
         //post code stuff here;
        endwhile;
        wp_reset_query();
    }
  endif;
}
?>

Presse should not be displayed.
would be glad if this could be fixed.

And how to you get rid of it?

$post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( $post->ID );
foreach($post_categories as $c){
  $cat = get_category( $c );
  echo "<h1>". $cat->name . "</h1>";

PERFECT!!!! thank you so much!

I would be glad if I could also understand it;-)

thanks chinmoy again!

the fatal error msg:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: query() in /homepages/4/d188254744/htdocs/sport-akustik/wp-content/themes/Q/left-1.php on line 22

thx

thanks chinmoy!

the result looks good. unfortunately the posts on the single.php are not going anywhere. it always shows the last post but i can’t go to the e.g. first post of the subcategory..

look at:
https://www.goodandbad.net/sport-akustik/limited/referenz/

THX

hi alchymyth!

thanks 4 your response. i do have a code working on the category.php. but -and i am more webdesigner than programmer ?? – i am not sure why it doesn’t work on the single.php.

maybe you could have a look and help me out: THX

foreach((get_the_category()) as $category)
	{
    $postcat= $category->cat_ID;
    $catname =$category->cat_name;
    }
<h2><?php echo $catname; ?></h2>
	<?php $categories = get_categories("child_of=5"); foreach ($categories as $cat) { ?>
	<?php query_posts("cat=$cat->cat_ID&showposts=-1&order=ASC&orderby=name"); ?>
		<h3><?php single_cat_title(); ?></h3>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<div class="what">
			<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to
			<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
		</div>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php } ?>

Hi David. Thanks for your response. To make it clear look at my textpage :

https://www.goodandbad.net/sport-akustik/category/know-how/

On the left site you see the navigation structure

Title current category
-title subcategory 1
posts within
-title subcategory 2
posts within

and this is what i want to see on my single.php

thanks

@royalprince: i need the subcategories and the posts within .. but thanks
