Hey Guys,

 

The problem can be seen on any of the category archive pages. See here: http://alihitch.com/.../all-tutorials/

 

For some reason, even though the page is showing the 'all tutorials' category link, it is also displaying a link to the 'other' category. This is the same for all categories.

 

Archive file code can be seen below. Anybody have any idea why this is happening?

 

**NOTE: I had originally put the 'other' and 'html/css tutorials' category as children categories of 'all tutorials'. They are not children categories any more. Perhaps that is a cause?

 

<?php get_header(); ?>

Thanks,

Ali

well if I am correct u mean the find by category part on sidebar , which is on asider-r.php we dont see it here , and if u are using wp_list_category for that , then simply exclude other from it , see here

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_categories

.or remove the other category if u dont need it , or set it's parent to no , so it wont show as a child of all tutorial category.

Hey JPR-UK,

 

The problem is with the Archive page, not the aside-r.php i'm pretty sure. The title has changed yet again ...

 

The last post had 2 categories: photography and photoshop tutorials which child categories of All Tutorials. It seems that the title of http://alihitch.com/.../all-tutorials/ is always the child categories of the latest post, when in this instance, it should be the parent category (all-tutorials) as this is the category being shown, not the children.

 

The code for this particular section is now:

 

<div class="a-year">

           <h2>
		<?php 
			foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) 
				{ 
  			$postcat= $category->cat_ID; 
  			$catname =$category->cat_name;

  			echo $catname;
			} 
		?>
		</h2>

           </div><!-- a-year -->

 

Pretty confusing I know. Hopefully somebody can figure this one out!

Just had a brainwave. Fix was simple really, although it's probably more of a hack than proper fix. For all of the child categories as well as the parent, I simply added the the PHP code as follows:

 

<?php elseif ( is_category('3') ) : ?>

       	<div class="a-year">

           <h2>All Tutorials</h2>

           </div><!-- a-year -->

       <?php elseif ( is_category('7') ) : ?>

       	<div class="a-year">

           <h2>HTML/CSS Tutorials</h2>

           </div><!-- a-year -->    

    	<?php elseif ( is_category('5') ) : ?>

       	<div class="a-year">

           <h2>jQuery Tutorials</h2>

           </div><!-- a-year --> 

    	<?php elseif ( is_category('12') ) : ?>

       	<div class="a-year">

           <h2>Other Tutorials</h2>

           </div><!-- a-year --> 

    	<?php elseif ( is_category('14') ) : ?>

       	<div class="a-year">

           <h2>Photography</h2>

           </div><!-- a-year --> 

    	<?php elseif ( is_category('4') ) : ?>

       	<div class="a-year">

           <h2>Photoshop Tutorials</h2>

           </div><!-- a-year --> 

    	<?php elseif ( is_category('6') ) : ?>

       	<div class="a-year">

           <h2>PHP Tutorials</h2>

           </div><!-- a-year -->     	

    	<?php elseif ( is_category('13') ) : ?>

       	<div class="a-year">

           <h2>Wordpress Tutorials</h2>

           </div><!-- a-year -->
