Hi Chris,
Actually, I have just noticed that your code is working when there are other children:
e.g. http://www.melbournelaserclinic.com.au/skin-treatment.php?About-Acne-Skin-Care-Advice-3
But is not working (i.e. shows all categories and children) when the category has no children:
e.g. http://www.melbournelaserclinic.com.au/skin-treatment.php?Birthmarks-7
Page is attached below:

Hi Benedict,
After browsing through your site, I think I may have figured out what you want to achieve. I'm not sure if I have this right, so please let me know if not:
If a user is viewing a top-level category (e.g. "Facial Ageing"), you want to list its child categories as related. If a user is viewing a second-level category (e.g. "Cheek Enhancement"), you want to list the child categories of the parent category.
If that's true, replace the "rootCategoryNum" line with the following:
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Chris,
Yes, that worked a treat. Thanks very much.
There is one last thing I want to achieve here and that is remove the active item from the presented list.
So if the user has chosen "acne scarring", the related items would show all related items but not acne scarring itself ( as the user is already at that page).
Thanks in advance.

Hi benedict,
To skip the current category when listing your related categories, add the line in red below:
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
To skip the current category when listing your related categories, add the line in red below:
<?php foreach ($relatedCategoryRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if ($record['num'] == $category['num']) { continue; } ?>I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
