   Hello,

   I'm trying to figure how I can let wordpress check if the current category is the child of a certain category.

   I have found this function:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/cat_is_ancestor_of

   This is nearly what I'm looking for, but I don't need 2 specific categories, but a specific parent category and the _currently_ displayed category.

   Has anybody ideas how to solve this?

   Thanks

   I thought that one is used to check if a post is in a certain category. I'd like to check if the currently displayed category is the child of a certain parent-category.

   The relevant code for my sidebar:

   <?php if (is_category('Design') {
   wp_list_cats('child_of=7&optioncount=0');
   } elseif (is_category('Media')) {
   wp_list_cats('child_of=8&optioncount=0');
   } elseif (is_category('Work')) {
   wp_list_cats('child_of=9&optioncount=0');
   } else {
   wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=0&hierarchical=0&list=1'); } ?>
