Display multiple categories on post!
Does anyone know how to display all the categories/subcategories... that belongs to a particular post in a post?

First, I tried this:
Code:

<?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) { echo $category->cat_name . ' '; echo '[*]' . $category->cat_name . ''; } ?>
The problem is that it doesn't order by:
PARENT CATEGORY
- Sub Category
-- Sub Sub Category

It simply displays all the categories together, so you can't tell what is a parent or a child category. I've tried looking up on the internet, but nobody has an example of this.

If someone knows how to show them on a post and on one of the index.php "columns", it would be a big help...

Cheers,

Gabriel

Are you using version 2.9.2? I don't have that problem.

Re: Display multiple categories on post!
Yes, I'm using 2.9.2!

Have a look below:

INDEX: http://gostudy.com.au/courses/
POST: http://gostudy.com.au/courses/elicos/sample-school/

Where:
* Business English (CHILD)
* ELICOS (PARENT CATEGORY)
* General English (CHILD)

That's how it shows...

Re: Display multiple categories on post!
Interesting use for ClassiPress
It looks like they are being sorted alphabetically (default?)
Is there a snippet of code that will change the sort order to hierarchical? I'll bet someone in here can help you out.

The search button. Your new best friend.

Re: Display multiple categories on post!
I had the same problem you have, and I got to order my categories non-alphabetically by using a plugin named order-categories. With this plugin you can order your categories from the "posts" menu by dragging and dropping, it's very simple.
Hope this may help you.
