Hi- I want to show category name instead of showing parent and sub category name. For example, the parent category is “Show” and the sub is “IronMan”.

I am using:

{categories}{category_name}{/categories}

In result I get ShowIronMan whil I want to show “IronMan” only. How do I do that?

With that tag (categories) there isn’t a generic way. If the parent is consistent, you could eliminate it specifically…
{categories show_group="not 2”}

I just tried that, it didnt worked.

To see what exactly is happening on my end- go to http://www.usdeafvolleyball.org/rosters then click the players’ name. You will see what’s happening.

I may be missing it but visiting those pages doesn’t enlighten me at all.

Okay on rosters page, the part info on the names look like this:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="rosterteam" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="6" show_future_entries="yes" category="11"}

<table width="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
  <tr>
    <td><h2>{title}</h2>
<p></td><br />
  </tr><br />
  <tr><br />
    <td><table width="524" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><br />
      <tr><br />
        <td width="238" valign="top">{teamphoto}{/exp:weblog:entries}</td><br />
        <td width="266" valign="top"><font size="2">{exp:weblog:entries weblog="roster" orderby="date" sort="asc" category="11"}<a href="http://{title_permalink=rosterind}"><b>{title}:</b></a> {position}, {height}, {hometown}<br>{/exp:weblog:entries}

Rosterteam shows which team they are on. {title} tells what team they are on. While roster wld display the player’s info and include the link to go to its individual page. On the individual page it looks like :

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="roster" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="1" show_future_entries="yes" category="10"}
<table width="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
  <tr>
    <td><h2>{categories}{category_name}{/categories}</h2>
<p></td><br />
  </tr><br />
  <tr></p>

<p>    <td><table width="524" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><br />
      <tr><br />
        <td width="208" valign="top">{photolg}</td><br />
        <td width="296" valign="middle"><font color="#1e2f61"></p><h3>{title}</h3><p></font><br />
          <br />
<font size="2"><br />
              <strong>Position: </strong>{position}</p>

Where we are seeing the RostersUs Women Team…. is where {categories}{category_name}{/categories} is at. Hope this helps? Sure wld love your help. Thanks.

Sure wld love your help.

Am out to meetings most the day…hopefully someone else will jump in.

Thanks- sure hope someone will jump in soon 😊

Have you checked if the auto-assign parent categories setting is on? I think that may be your problem.
