I have this code:

category 7 is a parent category of 2 child categories.  When I run this script, only the parent category (7) is showing.  I thought it was supposed to list the child as well?

This is the only code I have on this template.

UPDATE:  I realized now that this is a limitation of EE and that there was a child categories plugin to address this.

==========================

Here’s a new problem

I am having a new problem though:

5 is a child category.  the code above does not work.  When I replace 5 with 7 (the parent category) it works.  Why doesn’t it like child categories?

Using 1.7.2

Am i overlooking something obvious?

Thank

Hi Ryan,

The only question I can think of is - is category ID 5 in category group 2?

If you remove the category_group parameter, does ID 5 show?

Hi Dan,

Yes cat 5 is in group 2

I removed the category_group parameter.  cat 5 still does not show.

I also tried:

and it doesn’t work

Hi Ryan,

Bizarre! Can we get in for a look? Be on the look out for an email from me!

Cheers,

Hi Dan,

FYI I’m having exactly the same issue - so if there’s any progress made, I’d appreciate a heads up too!

Even when specified in show, child categories will not display:
E.g:

In the above example, category ID 2 is a child of ID 7.  If I change to show=“7”, it will display the parent though.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Ryan hasn’t gotten back to us yet. I like to do what I can to help you though!

What version of ExpressionEngine are you using?

Cheers,
