Hi I am trying to display the child term of the current post category page.
However I can figure out what am missing here. Thanks

<?php

$current_tax = get_query_var( 'category' );

$current_term = get_queried_object()->term_id;



$child_terms = get_terms( array('category' => $current_tax,

                                'child_of' => $current_term,

                                'orderby' => 'name' ));

if ( ! empty( $child_terms ) && ! is_wp_error( $child_terms ) ) {



    echo '<div class="post-index__cate">';

    foreach( $child_terms as $child ) {





        printf( '<a class="category-name" href="%s">', get_term_link( $child, $child->taxonomy ));



        echo $child->name. '</a>';



    }

    echo '</div>';

}

?>

My Answer:
You can use the following code to display the child terms of the current category page in WordPress:

php
$current_category = get_queried_object();
$child_terms = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => $current_category->taxonomy,
'parent' => $current_category->term_id
) );

if ( ! empty( $child_terms ) ) {
echo '

';
foreach ( $child_terms as $term ) {
echo '
• ' . $term->name . '
';
}
echo '

';
}


This code first gets the current category page using `get_queried_object()` and then retrieves the child terms of that category using `get_terms()`. It then loops through the child terms and displays them as a list with links to their respective term pages.

You can place this code in your theme's template file where you want to display the child terms of the current category page.
