Mathilde, What you want to use is probably in_category() instead of is_category() and pass the ID of category X to in_category. You can see an example at the bottom of the follow up post Complex Conditionals

Botakedan is true. The code didn’t work when you have more than one child category.
I would like display several child categories with the same template. For example, all the categories which are children of the category X have the same template.
Do you have an idea of how it can work ?

Mark,

I did some testing and it turned out to be more complicated than I thought. This should work:
$cats = get_categories('child_of=4');


			foreach ($cats as $cat){

				$cats_array[] = $cat->cat_ID;

			}

if ( is_category($cats_array) ) { //do stuff }

Thanks for the reply… the second one is what I am after but can’y seem to get it to work. here is my code:

// if category name is blog then do this if (is_category('blog')){ include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/theblog.php'); }


	$cats = wp_list_categories('child_of=4&echo=0');

else if(is_category(array($cats)){

include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/theblog.php');

}
    else {

        //  all others do this

       include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/all-categories.php');

    }

Did I mess something up?

thanks again… appreciate the help.
