Wordpress category display child only one level

I'm trying to make a theme which shows an overview of child categories with title, link and description when entering a category archive. However, I only want to show child categories one level below the current category, and not the children of child categories.

How do I do that?

<?php
global $ancestor;
$childcats = get_categories('child_of=' . $cat . '&hide_empty=1');
foreach ($childcats as $childcat) {
  if (cat_is_ancestor_of($ancestor, $childcat->cat_ID) == false){
    echo '<li><h2><a href="'.get_category_link($childcat->cat_ID).'">';
    echo $childcat->cat_name . '</a></h2>';
    echo '<p>'.$childcat->category_description.'</p>';
    echo '</li>';
    $ancestor = $childcat->cat_ID;
  }
}
?>

I found that code, but it only returns one child. It returns. (Faa and Faq are child categories)

Thanks!

Make sure 'FAQ' has post under it. If you notice the "code you found" is passing the parameter "&hide_empty=1" which means it will not return categories that are empty.

So your options are to either remove that or make sure your category has posts under it.
