Therefore I just created the requisite number of ‘category-x.php files and let category.php be the template for all director categories. * I am goingto leave this post as un-resolved though as some kind of if/else for children of parent categories would be a much more elegant solution. * If anyone can come up with anything here I would certainly be interested in seeing it. * Cheers. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Child Categories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-categories/) * Thread Starter [exbionic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exbionic/) * (@exbionic) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-categories/#post-638752) * Hi Storyman, * I never noticed you reply before posting my reply to Michael! * The point at which I need the template is not for a single page but for a complete list of posts in any given category i.e [http://www.foo.com/?cat=12](http://www.foo.com/?cat=12) etc. * I pull in a thumbnail and a link to each post in that category which contains the video clip. * Hope that makes sense. * Thanks for your reply 😀 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Child Categories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-categories/) * Thread Starter [exbionic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exbionic/) * (@exbionic) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-categories/#post-638751) * Hi Michael, * Thanks for your reply. * `` * I don’t think this is what I am looking for as, if I’m reading this right, you would need to declare all of the child categories in the function? * I am thinking that, maybe, I should have included more detail in my original question. * The site I am building is for a TV production company and contains a lot of video clips of their work. I have set up my categories and child categories as follows: * Directors ___Director Name 1 ___Director Name 2 ___Director Name 3 ___etc. Genres ___Comedy ___Drama ___Animation ___etc. * My problem is that I need to have a different template shown if the viewer is visiting a Director page than when viewing a Genre page. Obviously when I say‘ page’ I mean web page and not a WordPress ‘Page’. * It would be easy (if not a little tedious) to set up category-x.php files for each of the categories but the list of directors is not finite and the client will want to add to it as they work with new directors. * Therefore it would be easier if I could just get WordPress to check to see if the current category being viewed is a child of either ‘Directors’ or ‘Genres’. * Sorry for the long-winded post! Many thanks again for any help. * Cheers. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Category Box in Admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-box-in-admin/) * Thread Starter [exbionic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exbionic/) * (@exbionic) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-box-in-admin/#post-636512) * Hi brockangelo, * Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to work for me. * Looking through the code when viewing the page in the browser I found that the styles referenced in the sidebar.php aren’t being used in the output code. * I noticed a div called categorychecklist and found the CSS for this in the wp- admin.css file at line 1060. I just changed the height value there. * Hope this helps someone else. * Cheers. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Category Thumbnail Link](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-thumbnail-link/) * Thread Starter [exbionic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exbionic/) * (@exbionic) * [18 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-thumbnail-link/#post-623532) * Should anyone be looking for a solution to this in the future I managed to solve this by installing this plug-in: * [http://tacoen.smedia.or.id/contents/coen_catcustlist.phps](http://tacoen.smedia.or.id/contents/coen_catcustlist.phps) * I also installed the PHP Exec plugin so that I could write the following into a WordPress page: * `` * It outputs an unordered list (styled by css to float left), of all the category names and a jpg file that MUST have the same as the category. This then links to the list of posts within each category. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Thumbnail images used as links to posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-images-used-as-links-to-posts/) * Thread Starter [exbionic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exbionic/) * (@exbionic) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-images-used-as-links-to-posts/#post-141926) * Hi Kafkaesqui (good name!), * Thanks for your reply. All posts in this particular category will work like this, but only this category. On my index I will have the latest post from my ‘main’ category and thought it would be nice if I could create a ‘highlights’ section for the category that deals with photos, using the thimbnails of the photos as links. * I’m not savvy enough with PHP to know exactly what you are suggesting, but I would have thought that if it involves editing the loop that it must affect all posts in all categories. Is that right? * Thanks again for your reply. I give what you suggested a go and see what I come up with. * Cheers. Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total)
