[raju_a]

Hi guys,

I need to display all the subcategories in category page,

https://ibb.co/G9ZWWXM

In 1.9 https://www.creare.co.uk/blog/magento/magento-subcategories-category-pages 

is it possible to create the same in Magento 2.3.2

Hello @raju_a 

Please follow the below steps:

1. Create static block
2. Call phtml file in created static block
3. Add the code at https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/120179/get-sub-category-of-current-category-in-magento2  in phtml file to get subcategories
4. Add CMS static block as shown here: https://drops.meetanshi.com/N1GeZJ
5. Display mode should be static block only.

Hope the above solution will be helpful to you.

Hello @raju_a ,

To display subcategories information on the category page in Magento 2.

Add this below code to your theme ‘list.pthml’ file.
app\design\frontend\Themes\Yourtheme\Magento_catalog\templates\product\list.phtml

```<?php

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

$category = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\Registry')->registry('current_category');

$subcats = $category->getChildrenCategories();                                                  

?>

<div class="product details product-item-details">

    <?php

foreach ($subcats as $subcat) {

     if ($subcat->getIsActive()) {

                                 $sub_category = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Category')->load($subcat->getId());

                                 $subcat_url = $subcat->getUrl(); ?>

            <span class="product-image">

            <a href="<?php echo $subcat_url; ?>">

                     <img src="<?php echo $sub_category->getImageUrl() ?>" height="300px" width="240px">

            </a>            

            </span>

          <span class="product-item-name">

             <a href="<?php echo $subcat_url?>" class="product-item-link"><?php echo $subcat->getName(); ?></a>

             </span>

            <?php                        

     }

} ?>

</div>```
