I am building a 'course-like' WP site, without the use of any particular 'course plugins' and for this, I need to be able to show all the sub-categories in the sidebar for that particular course.
Example:
I have a course about cooking. Here are the Categories (parents in bold) and sub-categories (along with posts in Italics)...
A Food Course (Parent)
Preparing food (SubCat) - Washing hands - Hair nets - What tools to use
Using Ingredients (SubCat) - Storage - Use-by Dates
So, if the user is on a post page (say Hair Nets), then in the sidebar, I need to display the menu structure for that particular Parent Category, so they can skip to other sections just in that course, quickly.
I know, to generate the menu I would need to get/retrieve the parent category of the current post, can anyone shed any light?
