Hi, i am trying to understand what the differences between “self” and “parent” are.

<?php echo parent::get_sibling_categories(array(
‘show_background_color’ => true
));
?>

AND

<?php echo self::get_sibling_categories(array(
‘show_background_color’ => true
));
?>

I can´t see any differences.
Please help.

Best regard
Sebastian

Hi,

I don’t understand why would you want to change that, or what the purpose would be. That is pretty advanced coding and everything has a meaning, best you do not modify it unless you know what you are doing.

Thanks
