I am searching for code or a plugin that will show the subcategories of a given category's parent. For example, if I have a parent category of "photos" and subcategories of "art," "friends," and "travel," how can I adjust your code so that if I am in the "photos" parent category OR in the "friends" subcategory archives, it will show clickable links for the "art," "friends," and "travel" sections in the sidebar? Thank you so much!! Very helpful!!

hey, just had an epiphany and got this working right! I wanted to share in case anyone else runs into this:

1. I created a duplicate of sidebar.php and called it sidebar_categories.php.

2. Then I edited my archive.php file and wrapped the call to sidebar in a condition where if the archive type is category, than it will include the alternate sidebar instead.

Here is the code, placed at the bottom of the archive.php file instead of get_sidebar ():

if (is_category()) {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/sidebar_categories.php");
} else {
get_sidebar();
}

Problem solved without widgets. BTW, in my previous comment if forgot to mention I was using the plugin called 'Executable PHP widget' to try to turn the snippet into a widget.

Yoast is awesome.

Great thread!!! It is almost working correctly for me. Two probelms, and I wonder if anyone has run into the same stuf or any help with modifying the php, using the example code at http://yoast.com/showing-subcategories-on-wordpress-category-pages/#comment-36688 (p.s. I know php when i look at it, but i am no coder)

1. Works when in sidebar.php, but includes a full category list on the homepage, as well as other pages. I only want this to show up on category archives.

2. I Tried to widgitize it so that I could use widget-logic to effect where this shows up, but as a widget it lists all categories, on every page, no matter where you are.

Any ideas?

Hello, good post, very useful.

I just need help in one issue. How can I add a "follow" tag to these addes subcategories? because with the meta robots plugin, the subcategories within the category pages are setup as "nofollow". I just want to follow the subcategories of each category and no the other main categories.

Hi,

It had no problem till today. In homepage, it shows the subcategories of catid:190

I dunno why this happened. Cat id 190 is my new category and on the main page, it lists the sub cats of this cat as if I opened this cat page.

Why can it be?

Any ides? Thanks

Joost,
How do we reconcile the duplicate content issue when using subcategories? That is, when I assign a post to a subcategory (child of parent category) it is also visible in the parent category. Hence, wouldn't this be considered duplicate content?

Thanks for your time and insight, it is greatly appreciated!
