This is because the code is only meant for use in one category. For more categories, use a switch – also covered elsewhere in this blog…

switch ($current_category_id) {
case 1:
case 19:
echo "banner";
break;
default:
echo "whatever";
break;
}

Your code wouldn't work without actually putting in the subcategory as well. I made an if statement to change the banner on one paticular ctegory and sub-categores and I could only get it to work with this category and it's first category….I could add more sub-categories, but then I would have to add more OR statements….

here is my example…

if ($cPath == "1" OR $cPath == "1_19")

if ($current_category_id == "3") echo "banner";

You need to get the number of the category, eg: 2_3_15 or wahtever.

That's good. But, is it possible show the banner only in a
subcategory?
I tried:

But this code is wrong.
