How to get the subcategory value into another variable?

Vote 0 Votes

Hello ALL,

I am using the following code to list the categories and sub-categories which I have created within my blog.





  • Parent: ">



  • Sibling: ">



  • Current:



  • Child: ">






  • Sibling: ">


  • Current:


  • Child: ">



  • If I run the above code it perfectly display the information and for the "Current" category/sub-category also it is displaying the correct name. Now the problem is that if I try to store the value of "$CategoryLabel" after 1st "Current" statement in the above code like..

    // displaying correct category / sub-category name

  • Current:
  • // My code to store the above value

    Now when I try to print the value of my variable above using ..

    It displays the name of parent category, even if I am on sub-category page. The variable with the line "

  • Current:
  • " display the correct sub-category name but the variable which I have declared stores the name of the main category.

    Can anyone let me know the reason for this? Where I am doing wrong? Kindly suggest.

    Thanks in advance!

    If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
