Sub categories inherits main cat template, functions.php issue. WordPress
- SOLVED
Hello,
I am having a strange issue, I require a sub-category to have the same template as its parent, I found this resource; [[LINK href="http://wcdco.info/aJ"]]http://wcdco.info/aJ[[/LINK]]
It works! Except its causing issues with my existing functions.php scripts.
<strong>functions.php contains;</strong>
Category inherits
Custom Widgets
Custom Meta, with post screen interface
Remove unnecessary from header
<strong>The problem;</strong>
The category inherits script seems to be conflicting with my custom meta script, I can no longer query meta data; meta script works perfectly fine without category inherits.
<blockquote>Wondering if I am missing a simple closing statement, or that my inherit script was based on an older version of Wordpress.</blockquote>
<em>Any information you can provide will be much appreciated.</em>

You are missing this bit of code - the action hook:
add_action('template_redirect', 'inherit_template');
Here is all the code:
add_action('template_redirect', 'inherit_template');
function inherit_template() {
if (is_category()) {
$catid = get_query_var('cat');
if ( file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/category-' . $catid . '.php') ) {
include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/category-' . $catid . '.php');
exit;
}
$cat = &get_category($catid);
$parent = $cat->category_parent;
while ($parent){
$cat = &get_category($parent);
if ( file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/category-' . $cat->cat_ID . '.php') ) {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/category-' . $cat->cat_ID . '.php');
exit;
}
$parent = $cat->category_parent;
}
}
}

Hi Baki,
Action hook was there … it was just at the bottom of that section of code; both work by them self’s … but still conflicts.
Hmm.
Baki Goxhaj comments:
It worked on my server, so changing place would be a option. Also, removing the their argument on the hook "1" would be another try.
West Coast Design Co. comments:
Interesting, my meta script works on single.php or category.php but not category-ID.php.
Baki Goxhaj comments:
I suppose you know that "category-ID.php" as to look like "category-6.php" and that it works where 6 is the ID of the parent category.
West Coast Design Co. comments:
Yes :) ... did you have time to look at this first hand, could use this funds plus more through paypal ...
Baki Goxhaj comments:
OK, I can do that for you on-site - info[@]wplancer[.]com :)

Sorry, WP Questions went straight to spam … didn’t see your reply!
Ehthisham tk answers:
try changing the position of meta ,i mean place that function above the category inherit function .
Some times this works .

Hi Ehthisham,
Good answer, however that was the first thing I tried.
