   I have this code in my "Single.php":
   

   <?php
   if ( in_category('3') ) {
   include 'single_article.php';
   }
   elseif ('category_parent=9') {
   include 'single_teacher.php';
   }
   else {
   include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/index.php');
   }
   ?>

   And it work's great to make every post under category3
   use "single_article.php" and every post under the category 9 or under one of it's subcategories use the "single_teacher.php".

   But when I try to add another template for posts
   under category 15 or it's subcategories like that:
   

   <?php
   if ( in_category('3') ) {
   include 'single_article.php';
   }
   elseif ('category_parent=9') {
   include 'single_teacher.php';
   }
   elseif ('category_parent=15') {
   include 'videolessons.php';
   }
   else {
   include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/index.php');
   }
   ?>

   It's just take the "single_teacher.php" even
   for the posts under category 15.

   Any Idea?

   Is the category also a child of category 9 (id of 9) though?...

   If it is, that's why you have that problem, because the you get a match on the first elseif, so you never reach the next one...

   No, it isn't.

   Well exactly is this anyway?

   elseif ('category_parent=9')

   Unless you're passing that information along to something, that on it's own doesn't do anything, or shouldn't really do much anyway.

   What does this refer to?
   elseif ('category_parent=9')

   If category_parent ( what's category_parent ? ).

   As is, that's just a string of text that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

   It is it means: chack if the post your on,
   is in a category that is a subcategory of category9,
   and it works!

   Sorry that's my point, that code won't do that..
