   I have the following category structure on my blog:

   Category Articles
   - Sub Articles
   - Sub Articles
   - Sub Articles
   - Sub Articles

   Category Products
   - Sub Products
   - Sub Products
   - Sub Products
   - Sub Products

   I would like to serve a different single.php for each of the two parent categories (and subsequent child categories). So far I have:

   <?php
   if (in_category('9')) {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-articles.php');
   } else {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-products.php');
   }
   ?>

   Which would work if I had no child categories beneath articles. I would rather not limit myself to just one article category. Something like this would be great:

   <?php
   if ((in_category('9')) || or child category of 9) {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-articles.php');
   } else {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-products.php');
   }
   ?>

   I've also tried to use the following code by Kaf:

   function is_category_parent($category_id='') {
       global $wp_query;
   
       if (!$wp_query->is_category)
           return false;
   
       $catobj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
   
       if( ($category_id == $catobj->cat_ID) || ($category_id == $catobj->category_parent) )
           return true;
   
       return false;
   }

   My guess is that it's not compatible w/2.7.

   Any help would be appreciated. This is the last hurdle to cross :)

   The solution:

   <?php
   $in_subcategory = false;
   foreach( (array) get_term_children( 11, 'category' ) as $child_category ) {
   if(in_category($child_category))$in_subcategory = true;
   }
   
   if ( $in_subcategory || in_category( 11 ) ) {
   echo '<span class="fruits">This is about different kinds of fruits</span>';
   } else {
   echo '<span class="bad-cat">Not tasty! Not healthy!</span>';
   }
   ?>

   Figures I find the answer right after asking for help :) Hope this helps someone else!!
