   Hello,
   I need some help with "in_category".

   Most of my posts are published in 2 categories. For example
   Post1 - Category: Player Wallpapers, Cristiano Ronaldo
   Post2 - Category: Player Wallpapers, Wayne Rooney
   Post3 - Category: Club Wallpapers, Manchester United

   I'm trying to add a default text to each post, depending on the name of each player or club.

   I've tried using the following code, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right:

   <?php
   if ( (in_category( 'cristiano_ronaldo' )) &amp;&amp; (in_category('player_wallpapers'))) {
   	echo "Some text about C. Ronaldo";
   } else {
   	echo "No info";
   }
   ?>

   But all I get for every post is "No info", even for the posts that have been published under cristiano_ronaldo & player_wallpapers.

   Then I went to my database and noticed that in the table "wp_posts" the value of "post_category" is '0' for all of my posts. I'm not sure if that is normal.

   Thank you,
   Artin

   Try using the category ID to see if that makes a difference:

   if ( (in_category('4') ) && ( in_category('5') ) {

   The post_category field in wp_posts is no longer used and will be removed in 2.8. The terms/taxonomy tables contain the categories.
