   Hello,
   I am looking at modifying my archive page to display content if the user is in a specific category.

   so I would like to do something like:

   if($_GET['cat'] == 'foo'){
   echo 'content specific to this category';
   }

   I just cannot find the name of the parameter for category.

   Try:

   <?php if(is_category'foo')) :?>
   [ specific content ]
   <?php else :?>
   [ general content ]
   <?php endif;?>

   where "foo" would be the category id or slug?

   Thanks that is much better than going after the actual parameter

   Sorry. "foo" can be a category title, slug or id (if I remember correctly.)
