It’s giving another for ‘Gallery Spa’ (which is the category after Froots) instead of the current ‘Froots’.

Here’s what I used:

looking at your site and what I believe you are try to do, you really don’t need the whole function. Since you are passing a URL variable (cid) in your pop-up, you should be able to simply do:

<?php
$cat = $_GET['cid'];
$category = get_category($cat);
echo ‘<h3>’.$category->cat_name.’</h3>
<p>’.category_description($cat).’</p>’;
?>


That should grab your variable and then print out the title and description of the category the coupon is for.

My question: is it possible to only show the description for “FROOTS” and not show the others?

Thanks so much!

my website having problem with the display of posts under each categories.
Normally if you access any one of my categories (from sidebar or other place), you should see all posts listed.

But now it only show maybe 1 post or 2 post (1 full posts and 1 only the title being show).
i’ve try to deactivate all plugin to see if it works, but it still doesn’t work.
But when i switch it to another theme then it’s working fine.

i’ve another website can run the theme without the problem i mention…

Can you help me to settle this issue? Thank you……

You should be able to modify the function like so.

function desc_cats(){
foreach (get_categories(array('hide_empty'=>true)) as $category)
{
$catid = $category->cat_ID;
echo '<div><h3><a href="' . get_bloginfo('wpurl') . '/category/' . $category->category_nicename . '/">' .
$category->cat_name . ' (' . $category->count.$numposts.')</a></h3>' . category_description($catid) . '<hr></div>' . "\n";
}
};


And call it like so:
<?php desc_cats(); ?>

That will make each category in it’s own div with a <h3> and a link for the title and ending with a horizontal rule.

As for paginating the results, not sure off hand. That really has nothign to do with the base of this function.

1) I want to add pagination. I have over 500 categories, and if all of them are listed WITH their descriptions, its a looooong and laggy page. So maybe only like..50 per page.

2) I want to add an in between the listed categories to space them out a little and make it look nice.
