There si clearly code in that function that makes the display of subcategories possible, the information I need is how to call the function so that section of the code dealing with contents tagged with subcategories is invoked within the function.

How should the $args[‘parents’] and $args[‘child_of’] arguments be used?

Best regards, thank you so much for your time.

Thank you for writing. I hope you are doing well.

If I’m understanding correctly, you want to display the categories child of a certain category on your home page.

To achieve this, you have two options: you can do it via hook or by overriding the template-home.php file in your child theme.

The name of the parameter is “category”.

1) If you do it via hook, you need to include some function like the one I’m linking in your functions.php file: https://gist.github.com/juanfra/9032e2f1aca3d06340c60d69599b6f92

2) If you’re overriding the template in your child theme you will need to copy and paste the original file and for the knowledge base call, you have to add the “category” parameter.

nicethemes_knowledgebase( array(
							'columns'     => 3,
							'category'     => 8, // 8 will be the ID of your category
							'numberposts' => $number_articles,
							'before'      => '
',
							'after'       => '
'
							)
						);

Best,
Juan.

Thank you so much for your suggestions, I have resolved under the following ticket, so I think we can close this one : http://nicethemeswp.com/forums/topic/knowledgebase-function-how-to-list-subcategory-items-on-home-page-using-template

Thank you very much for your response.

I’ve reviewed the other support ticket and I’ve also replied over there.

Have a good weekend,
