I have tried to get all sub categories which are not include in navigation menu but those are being active, of current category in list page.

$children = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories(10); //10 current category id

Even this category collection also return only subcategories which are include in navigation menu.

How to get category which isn't include in navigation menu?

Try this:

$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/category_collection')
    ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
    ->addAttributeToFilter('is_active', 1) //only active categories
    ->addAttributeToFilter('include_in_menu', 0) //only categories not included in menu
    ->addAttributeToFilter('parent_id', 10)//get only subcategories of the category with id 10
    ->addAttributeToSort('position')//sort by position
;

foreach ($collection as $category) {
    //do something with $category
}

  • @DRAJI. Then It might be something wrong with your category tree. Corrupted data maybe. Some values for path field might be wrong. Or parent ids may be wrong.
