WordPress的-使category.php也列出子类别的帖子

Question

I'm building a blog where three people will be writing, but they will have a separate section on the site. The structure is built upon categories and looks like this:

• User one
  • Clothes
  • Fashion
  • Life

---

• User two
  • Family
  • Life

---

• User three
  • Family
  • Friends
  • Life

I've set all three users as writers and used the plugin Restrict Categories in order to lock their categories to the sub-categories the matching each top level category.

Now here comes the question, if I visit http://site.example/category/user-one/ I want to have a listing of all the posts, including the sub-categories since there will be no actual content in the top level category that you are browsing.

I've tried making this using filters bound to pre_get_posts but I still can't get it to work. Does anyone else here have any ideas?

I've also given some though into actually creating a multisite network for the purpose, but I then realized it will be hard to fetch posts from all the networks at once.

Thanks in advance, Jonathan

@Jonathan: Not sure if I am misinterpreting what you are hoping to achieve, but given that each author will already have their own 'author' page which lists all their posts (if your theme includes this or something you could create or customise), there may not really be a need for Users 1-3 to be their own category?

Going back to your question, for listing subcategories, perhaps https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/13485/list-all-subcategories-from-category might be of some help.

As for listing posts, to keep things simple, I reckon you might be able to use eg get_posts ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts ) and build custom arguments, perhaps in a loop if you prefer to use one instead of slug/id specific category templates.

If it's any help, Bainternet actually created a plugin that makes life a little easier to define category templates: http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-category-template/
