Hello,

Thanks for the help, the issue is nearly solved.

I did as you said and added echo get_cat_name( $category->parent ); to the code.

Here is what the code look like now.

<?php
  $category_id = get_query_var( 'cat' ); // Get current catgory ID
  $category = get_term( $category_id, 'category' ); // Fetch category term object

  $parent = $category->parent ? $category->parent : 
  $category_id;

  $args = array(
     'show_count' => false,
     'hide_empty' => true,
     'title_li' => '',
     'show_option_none' => '',
     'echo' => false
     );

    echo get_cat_name( $category->parent );
    
     if ( $category->parent ) {
       $args['child_of'] = $category->parent;
       //$args['exclude'] = $category_id; // Don't display the current category in this list
    }
    else {
      $args['child_of'] = $category_id;
    }

    // Get the category list
    $categories_list = wp_list_categories( $args );
    if ( $categories_list ) {?>
      <div class="subcategory-wrapper">
        <ul class="menu">
          <?php echo $categories_list; ?>
        </ul>
      </div>
    <?php } ?>

I have 2 issue remaining.

Issue 1: When i am on a parent category, the name of the current parent category is not displaying, as you can see on the first image, the ‘Multimedia’ category is missing, how to solve that?

Issue 2: When i am on a subcategory, the parent category name is displaying, the issue is that it’s plain text and do not have a link back to the parent category, check the second picture, how to solve that?

If you can please provide me the full code, so i can finally get this solved, thank you.

I found a code that nearly did what i wanted, the issue is that the main category is missing.

With this code, i get that:

– SubCategory 1
– SubCategory 2
– SubCategory 3
– SubCategory 4

What i want is that:
– MainCategory
– SubCategory 1
– SubCategory 2
– SubCategory 3
– SubCategory 4

<?php
  $category_id = get_query_var( 'cat' ); // Get current catgory ID
  $category = get_term( $category_id, 'category' ); // Fetch category term object

  $parent = $category->parent ? $category->parent : 
  $category_id;

  $args = array(
     'show_count' => false,
     'hide_empty' => true,
     'title_li' => '',
     'show_option_none' => '',
     'echo' => false
     );

     // Show the children of parent category
     if ( $category->parent ) {
       $args['child_of'] = $category->parent;
       //$args['exclude'] = $category_id; // Don't display the current category in this list
    }
    else {
      $args['child_of'] = $category_id;
    }

    // Get the category list
    $categories_list = wp_list_categories( $args );
    if ( $categories_list ) {?>
      <div class="subcategory-wrapper">
        <ul class="menu">
          <?php echo $categories_list; ?>
        </ul>
      </div>
    <?php } ?>

Hi,

The thing is that if i use page instead of category, it mess up all the url structure of my post.

That’s why i would rather use category, i just want my parent category to show the subcategory instead of the post.

Thank you
