   Hi all,

   I'm trying to figure out how I can check if a specific child category belongs to a specific parent category.

   Such as is_child("america","country");

   In other words, is 'america' a child to its parent category 'country'.

   I've been stuck for a couple days and cannot find a solution, any help would be appreciated.

   Many thanks,
   Christopher

   Thanks for your reply blogsdna,

   Two things:

   1. When I pass "america", it's returning "country", which is correct, it is also returning "america", I need it to only display the parent?

   2. It's passing back the name of the parent, I need it to pass back the ID of the parent category so I can use that in PHP.

   Let me explain, I would like to have an output like this..

   Countries
   America, South Africa, Russia

   Basically showing which children belong to that parent (there will be multiple parents, so I will have to create an array). I also need to then be able to wrap tags around the children and parent, so as to do something like..

   America

   Make sense?

   Hello,

   I need something similar, I hope you can help me.

   I only need to check if the page is a child of parent page "projects", so that I can display different content.

   How would i do that?

   Thank you :)
