I try to get wordpress list categories with count at the end of each category's name by input the parent category as output.

Ex: I have a parent category name "alpha", and its child categories name are, Category A, Category B, Category C, Category D

I want the output display:

-Category A (5)

-Category B (2)

-Category C (6)

-Category D (7)

<?php
    $variable = wp_list_categories( array(
    'show_count' => true,
    'orderby'    => 'name',
    'style'      => 'none'
    ) );
    echo $variable; 
?>

The result of the above code display categories with the count of posts at the end, but it display all categories. Can anybody help me how I fix this problem?

You can use the "child_of" in the array, and input the parent category ID in the value.

<?php
   $variable = wp_list_categories( array(
     'show_count'         => true,
     'orderby'             => 'name',
     'style'               => 'none',
     'hide_empty'         => 0,
     'child_of'            => 52
   ) );
   echo $variable; 
?>

How to display all categories name in Wordpress page and the selected category will be in bold style?

For example, for an existing post if I selected category2 of 3 existing, then it show like this

category1 category2 category3

<div class="entry-meta">
<span class="term-links">
<?php foreach ( get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'category') as $term ) : 
?>
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_term_link( $term->term_id ) ) 
?>"><span class="<?php echo $term->slug ?>"><?php echo $term->name ?>
</span></a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</span>

<style>
.term-links .category2 {
display: inline-block;
font-weight:bold;

How to display all posts based on category in Wordpress?

I have 4 categories. For each category I will show 5 recent post. I will have category such as breakfast, dessert, lunch and savory food. There will be a "See All" link for each category, so when the user click on "see All" link, can see all post of the particular category. Currently my code looks like this, but I am stuck with the "See All" link. I don't know how to link it to main category.

<?php 
get_header();
?> 
<!-- recipe -->
<section class="recipe-wrap">
    <?php
    /*
     * Loop through Categories and Display Posts within
     */
    $post_type = 'recipe';
    $category_link = get_category_link($cat->cat_ID);

    // Get all the taxonomies for this post type
    $taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies( array( 'post_type' => $post_type ) );

    foreach( $taxonomies as $taxonomy ) :

        // Gets every "category" (term) in this taxonomy to get the respective posts
        $terms = get_terms( $taxonomy );

        foreach( $terms as $term ) : ?>

    <div class="recipe-category owl-carousel-slide">
        <div class="row">

            <h2><?php echo $term->name; ?><a href="#">see all</a></h2>

            <div class="recipe-category-carousel owl-carousel owl-theme">

                <?php
                $args = array(
                        'post_type' => $post_type,
                        'posts_per_page' => 10,  //show all posts
                        'tax_query' => array(

                                'terms' => $term->slug,

                if( $posts->have_posts() ): while( $posts->have_posts() ) : $posts->the_post(); ?>

                <div class="item recipe-box">

                        <p><?php the_title(); ?></p>
                    </a>
                </div> 

                <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
