   Hi!

   i upgrade to WP2.6.. after that i had a lot of problems with categories... some of them i could solve using wp-database... but the situation is, i have the following category structure:

   Books
   - Economics (first level)
   -- game theory (second level)
   -- Principles of Economics (second level)

   I have 5 child category(2nd level) inside book category... i set it to open a sidebar_book to all the child categories inside book using a (is_category()) function...

   after upgrade to wp2.6 only one of the child category (2) do not call the right sidebar, it calls sidebar.php

   I already tried to set a if (is_category()) using the child category ID but it didn't work...the problem is with "Principles of Economics"

   PLEASE HELP!

   thanks in advance.

   forgot to say... when i write a new post, in category field it shows correctly with principles of economics and all the other child categories inside books. But when editing a post it shows all the child categories of books as if they were a parent category.

   Hi people! I finally solve this problem.
   The get_the_category() function returns the categories ordered by category name. I used the following code:
   

   <?php
   	$category = get_the_category();
   	foreach($category as $cat) {
   		if($cat->category_parent == 0) {
   			if($cat->cat_ID == 28) { // Books category ID
   				include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar_livros.php');
   			} else {
   				get_sidebar();
   			}
   		}
   	}
   ?>
