[Resolved] How to add Sibling Child Categories to the Category Header

[medialinepublishing@outlook.com]

Hello,

I would like to add two things to the category header:
1. List of the subcategories (sibling categories)
2. A way to sort the posts in a category by date and popularity

it is something like you can see in the screenshot below:

Hi there,

To list the categories, you might be able to do something like this:

add_action( 'generate_after_archive_title', function() {
    $term = get_queried_object();

    $children = get_terms( $term->taxonomy, array(
        'parent'    => $term->term_id,
        'hide_empty' => false
    ) );

    if ( $children ) { 
        foreach( $children as $subcat ) {
            echo '<a class="button" href="' . esc_url(get_term_link($subcat, $subcat->taxonomy)) . '">' . $subcat->name . '</a>';
        }
    }
} );

The filters would likely require custom development as it’s quite complex.
