Question

I’ve found tons of code and plugins to do various things; from show posts for specific cats, subcats of a cat, etc.. BUT, I cannot for the life of me find, nor do I know the WP API well enough to do what I need with it..

Here is what I’m trying to accomplish:

Display a UL of all subcats within Cat31, and the posts for each of those subcats:

SubCat1
Post 1
Post 2

SubCat2
Post 1
Post 2

SubCat3
Post 1
Post 2

It’s pretty straight forward, but all the loops I have tried fail either at the subcat loop or the post loop (one or the other works, I cannot get them both to work..)

So, unless I can find a plugin to do this (I’d prefer to code this into a template file!) then I need to figure out how to:

Loop Subcats within Cat31
while looping subcasts, loop posts for each subcat

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

I think here’s what you need.

$categories=  get_categories('child_of=10');  for each  $categories as $category {
      //Display the sub category information using $category values like $category->cat_name
      $posts_array = get_posts( 'category=$category->cat_ID' );
      for each $posts_array as $post {
           //Display the posts information using $post values like $post->post_title
      }  }

You just need to format them. Hope this would be of help.
