Show child categories without GW Code Categories

Question

I'm trying to just show child categories of a specific parent and have used GW Code Categories in the past.

I would just pass the category ID to GW Code and voila!

Now that GW Code Categories is not supported in the latest version of EE (5.3.2), how can I replicate the same functionality?

Answer 1

You have three options depending on what actually you are doing...

1. Use a fork of GWCode updated for EE5 - here
2. Use category construct - an add-on with similar abilities
3. Use URL-Helper - only works on segments but does the job in many cases: can map slugs to categories based on name or category ID.

HTH

PS - To get better answers it helps if you can add information about what version of EE you are using (and sometimes what version of php)... thanks!
