Well im not one to stop trying….oddly enough after further investigations i found that the following code produced the results i wanted, but im sure that this is a sloppy hack. * Any one know why this works…from my limited understanding, it would seem to me that WP is not recognizing the **|| is_page (‘arts-entertainment’)** to be false. as stated before changing the is_page() argument…results true. I tried using the page ID (577) as the argument for is_page(), but still returns false. After further testing, i deduced that “somehow?!?” WP thinks that the Arts & Entertainment page is a child of the ‘news’ category (13)…thus the following sloppy hack * > if ( in_category(‘news’) || post_is_in_descendant_category( 13 )) { > if ( > is_page(577)){ include ‘includes/nav-ent.php’; } else include ‘includes/nav- > home.php’; } * was used to replace the first condition in the code from the prev post. * You know how coding is sometimes….”just make it work”, even when we know its just a quick fix, hard code hack…just looking for any clarity on this issue. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [if is a page, or a child of a page, or in a category (a solution)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/if-is-a-page-or-a-child-of-a-page-or-in-a-category-a-solution/) * [cblock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cblock/) * (@cblock) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/if-is-a-page-or-a-child-of-a-page-or-in-a-category-a-solution/#post-938178) * i am having a similar problem: My conditional statement works for all cases except arts-entertainment page.
