UPDATE:
I have found a solution, as per several threads on here and elsewhere. Please use this if this is useful to you.
It is the code of the taxonomy.php file in my Genesis theme.
It does the following:
- Displays all the Child category names and the articles related to those categories
EXAMPLE:
(breadcrumb) Health Topic A Page
Main Subcategory 1
- Article 1
- Article 2
Main Subcategory 2
- Article 1
- Article 2
- It displays JUST the articles belong to “Main Subcategory X”
EXAMPLE:
(breadcrumb) Health Topic A Page > Main Subcategory 1
- Article 1
- Article 2
function child_do_custom_loop() {
//first get the current term
$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); // get term
$parent = get_term($term->parent, get_query_var('taxonomy') ); // get parent term
$children = get_term_children($term->term_id, get_query_var('taxonomy')); // get children
if(($parent->term_id=="") && (sizeof($children)>0)) { // no parent, has child - core main categories
$args = array(
'child_of' => $term->term_id,
'taxonomy' => $term->taxonomy,
'hide_empty' => 0,
'hierarchical' => true,
'orderby'=>'menu_order',
'depth' => 1,
'title_li' => ''
);
$category = get_categories($args);
foreach ($category as $subcat) {
wp_reset_query();
echo "<h3>" . $subcat->name . "</h3>"; //Get Parent Category Name
$newargs = array(
'post_type' => 'health-topics',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => $term->taxonomy,
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $subcat->slug,
),
),
);
$posts = new WP_Query($newargs);
while($posts->have_posts()) : $posts->the_post(); ?>
