How can I only display the subcategory?

[f4n3]

I've spent the last couple of hours on google and found about 20 different ways of doing this but none seem to work.

Each page has a different MP3. At the top of the page I have the Title, Artist, Album, Year, etc.
Artist displays the Category (the alphabet letter related to the Name) and Sub-category (name of the Artist)

Below I have an example:



I would like to display only the Name (sub-category) and leave out the main category.

This is the original code that displays both Cat + Sub:

<tr>
                        <td width="20%"> 
                            <strong><?php _e('Artist','mp3_det'); ?></strong>
                        </td>
                        <td>
                              <?php the_category(', '); ?>

                        </td>
                        
                    </tr>

these are some examples of I found BUT they don't work for me:

<?php
if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

<?php
        if (is_category()) {
        $this_category = get_category($cat);
        }
        ?>
        <?php
        if($this_category->category_parent)
        $this_category = wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=0
        &title_li=&use_desc_for_title=1&child_of='.$this_category->category_parent.
        "&echo=0"); else
        $this_category = wp_list_categories('orderby=id&depth=1&show_count=0
        &title_li=&use_desc_for_title=1&child_of='.$this_category->cat_ID.
        "&echo=0");
        if ($this_category) { ?>
     
    <ul>
    <?php echo $this_category; ?>
     
    </ul>
     
    <?php } ?>

$echo = '<ul>' . "\n";$childcats = get_categories('child_of=' . $cat . '&hide_empty=1');foreach ($childcats as $childcat) {    if (1 == $childcat->category_parent) {        $echo .= "\t" . '<li><a href="' . get_category_link($childcat->cat_ID).'" title="' . $childcat->category_description . '">';        $echo .= $childcat->cat_name . '</a>';        $echo .= '</li>' . "\n";    }}$echo .= '</ul>' . "\n";echo $echo; 

I have a lot more but there is no point adding them here.

Does anyone know what I can do to make this work?
Thanks

Hi buddy,

Try this:

<?php
       foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
              if (cat_is_ancestor_of($categoryid, $childcat)) {
                     echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($childcat->cat_ID).'" title="See more in '.$childcat->cat_name.'">';
                      echo $childcat->cat_name . '</a></li> ';
              }}
?>

Hope it helps!
