parent

Examples

Dropdown Box as used in Parent category at post category page

This is the code used in the build in category page. Code from 3.0.1

wp_dropdown_categories(array('hide_empty' => 0, 'name' => 'category_parent', 'orderby' => 'name', 'selected' => $category->parent, 'hierarchical' => true, 'show_option_none' => __('None')));

This slightly altered code will grab all categories and display them with indent for a new level (child category). The select box will have a name= and id= called 'select_name'. This select will not display a default "none" as the original code was used to attach a category as a child to another category (or none).

wp_dropdown_categories(array('hide_empty' => 0, 'name' => 'select_name', 'hierarchical' => true));

Dropdown Box

Here's how to create a dropdown box of the subcategories of, say, a category that archives information on past events. This mirrors the example of the dropdown example of wp_get_archives which shows how to create a dropdown box for monthly archives.

Suppose the category whose subcategories you want to show is category 10, and that its category "nicename" is "archives".

<select name="event-dropdown" onchange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'> 
 <option value=""><?php echo esc_attr(__('Select Event')); ?></option> 
 <?php 
  $categories=  get_categories('child_of=10'); 
  foreach ($categories as $category) {
  	$option = '<option value="/category/archives/'.$category->category_nicename.'">';
	$option .= $category->cat_name;
	$option .= ' ('.$category->category_count.')';
	$option .= '</option>';
	echo $option;
  }
 ?>
</select>

List Categories and Descriptions

This example will list in alphabetic order, all categories presented as links to the corresponding category archive. Each category descripition is listed after the category link.

<?php
$args=array(
  'orderby' => 'name',
  'order' => 'ASC'
  );
$categories=get_categories($args);
  foreach($categories as $category) { 
    echo '<p>Category: <a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> </p> ';
    echo '<p> Description:'. $category->description . '</p>';
    echo '<p> Post Count: '. $category->count . '</p>';  } 
?>

The complete content of $category is:

$category->term_id
$category->name
$category->slug
$category->term_group
$category->term_taxonomy_id
$category->taxonomy
$category->description
$category->parent
$category->count
$category->cat_ID
$category->category_count
$category->category_description
$category->cat_name
$category->category_nicename
$category->category_parent

Source File
