Category pages not showing correct level subcategories

Here’s what the category hierarchy looks like:
Online Exclusives
– Playlist of the Week
– – Faculty
– – Students
Election 2016
Gender Week

Here’s what the category list looks like under the header on category pages:
Online Exclusives—displays Election 2016 and Gender Week, and Playlist of the Week
Playlist of the Week—displays Election 2016 and Gender Week, and Playlist of the Week
Faculty—displays Faculty and Students

Is there any way the Playlist of the Week category page could list it’s child categories (faculty and students)?

The current site is behind a coming soon page, so here’s a duplicated site: http://www.testing.lwhspapertiger.org/category/sports-update/

This category hierarchy was just created:
Sports Update
– Podcasts
– – Red
– – Blue

However, the categories are displaying:
Sports Update—Podcasts
Podcasts—Podcasts (I’d like it to display Red, Blue)

Hi

I’ve checked your site and there is no issue with category pages. Category page will display posts from that category but also from all its subcategories. For example Sport Updates category will display post from all subcategories, Podcasts, Red and Blue. This is a default functionality from wp and can’t be changed easily. If you really need this and you’re not aware of the steps that must be taken in this regard my advice is to look for someone who can help you with implementation or hire a freelancer to do it for you.

Thanks!

For example Sport Updates category will display post from all subcategories, Podcasts, Red and Blue.

It’s not showing “Red and Blue” anywhere. Podcast is supposed to show it’s subcategories. Instead Podcast shows “Podcast” instead of “Red and Blue” (it’s child categories).

HI

If Podcast category have its own posts, which are not assigned to other categories, they will be also displayed on Podcast category page.
This is default functionality of WordPress and the theme does not change it at all.

Thanks!
