   Hi Guys,

   I have a bunch of conditionals within a navbar and just need this last piece for it to work perfectly.

   What I have is:
   Category1
   link1
   link2
   link3

   Category2
   link4
   link5

   Category3
   link6
   link7

   Etc

   I'm using a very basic javascript to show/ hide each child menu

   Now ... I need to do a if/ else to show 1 line:
   

   <?php if ( is_category('1') ) {
   echo '<ul class="show" id="packaging">';
   } else {
   echo '<ul class="hide" id="packaging">';
   }
   ?>

   This works fine on the first child menu but not on any of the others.

   Any reason why not?

   I can PM the URL if need be.

   TIA

   You mean like:
   

   <?php if ( is_category('1') || is_category('2') || is_category('3') ) {

   Thanks Michael but no joy with that.

   I think my problem is that I am trying to call a sub (child) category separate from a parent category:
   Parent Category 1
   

   <?php if ( is_category('2') ) {
   echo '<ul class="show" id="childcat1">';
   } else {
   echo '<ul class="hide" id="childcat1">';
   }
   ?>
       <?php
   $posts_li = new WP_Query(array('category__and'=>array(2),'showposts'=>-1,'orderby'=>title,'order'=>ASC));
   ?>
       <?php while( $posts_li->have_posts() ) : $posts_li->the_post(); ?>
       <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
       <?php endwhile; ?>

   etc

   and repeat for each child category.
