   Hi,

   I am developing a theme. I have the following scenario:

   I have the following category "parent", within this category there are numerous other "children" subcategories, which may grow / change in time.

   At present, I have:

   Category.php
   Category-otherparent.php
   Category-parent.php

   with the url: http://mywordpresssite/wordpress/category/parent, my Category-parent.php is hit but http://mywordpresssite/wordpress/category/parent/children goes to Category.php.

   How to I get it to go to Category-parent.php? Is there a hook where I can tell it to look at the parent Category too before defaulting to the standard Category.php page?

   Thanks,

   Lilalfyalien

   I also see that from reading his/ her code, s/he hooks into 'template_redirect'.
