   I want my main category and sub categories to be displayed differently. Ideally I'd like to edit archive.php with a simple conditional statement. My link structure is like this:

   /blog/category/*category*/*sub-category*/

   So I've been trying to make a conditional statement like this:

   if (isset(*sub-category*)) {
   }
   else {
   }

   I have been trying to get values get_query_var but no luck yet.

   Is this possible?

   try

   if ( is_category(' *subcategory ' ) ) {

   } elseif ( is_category(' *subcategory ' ) ) {

   } else {

   }

   *subcategory* can be either the category number, the category slug, or the category name

   there is also in_category () which is useful in some cases

   Thanks, I have used is_category to include a different template.
