Hi Scribu – just locally. I think your plugin is essential for squeezing the most out of custom taxonomies.

Perfect! Thanks as always Michael. I didn’t even know post__in existed.

Excellent one! Thanks for adding this.

Thanks Greenshady. I think I see what you mean. Lately I’ve been using category templates instead of posts, which is where I got confused.

In your People>Will Smith example, I would create a post (instead of term description) to use as my main content block for a Will Smith page. Then I create a People template. In the template, I pull in the description post about Will Smith. I then have the freedom to create separate queries for related content (e.g., Horror Movies tagged with Will Smith, Comedies tagged with Will Smith, etc.).

So in the end, you get a page about Will Smith that has loads of related content. Anyhow, thanks for clearing that up for me and keep up the great work!

Found solution. If you’re having same problem with All in SEO and category templates try switching to Headspace2 plugin. That seems to have addressed issue of category templates, even where subcats are inheriting template of parent cat.

CORRECTION: I discovered problem with code above. It creates invalid links when there are multiple pages for the category.

<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>
<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; ?>feed">RSS Feed for Category</a>

The solution below appears to work better. It uses the WP template tag get_category_feed_link and then inserts the category dynamically. You place this in your category.php template.

Displaying WordPress Category RSS Feed Link

nellyy, I have not found a solution yet. Are we the only ones having this problem?

Try this plugin

Category Search

Version 2.7.1 has fixed this issue.

Thanks Michael. Is this a bug or not a feature? If you can limit number of parent cats, it would seem logical that you should be able to limit number of subcats.

Depending on your answer to question above, where can I report bug or request new feature?

Thanks Michael but I thought depth paramter controls how many levels of subcats show? I am just trying to limit number of 2nd level subcats that display. For example:

Parent Cat
2nd level subcat1
2nd level subcat2
2nd level subcat3
2nd level subcat4
2nd level subcat5
2nd level subcat6

Let’s say I try to limit these 2nd level subcats to only display 3 of them (e.g., “number=3”). That’s when wrong amount is displayed (usually none or less than specified limit).

FYI, I found a great plugin related to issue of the_category. Instead of excluding categories from the_category, it enables you to show the subcatories of a specific category that your post is associated with. Use it in the loop.

For what it’s worth, here was the solution (after much hair pulling). Display the blog url, then add the dynamic portion of the url followed by “feed”:

<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>
<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; ?>feed">RSS Feed for Category</a>

There is an excellent plugin for this which adds a template tag for category slug. Upload the plugin and then just add the category slug template tag in the loop

WP Extra Template Tags

Jimmiejo – many thanks! Works like a charm.

Only issue is some kind of conflict with PageNavi plugin. Still shows all of the pages even if there is only one. No problem though.
