Oct 16, 2012 at 14:21 comment added deathlock @MridulAggarwal Ok, I put it before the first if... it results in a horde of lines. But I manage to understand that the posts being displayed are indeed posts that belong under the hobbynews (or its child) category. So what does this mean?
Oct 16, 2012 at 10:13 comment added Mridul Aggarwal @deathlock I meant adding <?php global $wp_query; echo '<pre>'; var_dump($wp_query->posts); echo '</pre>';?> just before the first if. This will show on screen the post which is being checked for the category

Oct 16, 2012 at 9:18 comment added Mridul Aggarwal Please try doing a var_dump on the global $wp_query object, it might give you some hints
Oct 16, 2012 at 9:10 comment added deathlock @MridulAggarwal when I switch the place, what happens is the same like when I do what kovshenin told me to do. The second one's content shows up on both categories, while the first one's content does not show up.
Oct 16, 2012 at 9:02 comment added Mridul Aggarwal can you check switching the hobbynews & gamenews if conditions

Oct 16, 2012 at 8:56 comment added deathlock When I replace it with elseif (false), it reaches the second one. Both the gamenews and hobbynews now display content meant for hobbynews. Ok, I'll edit the question.

Oct 16, 2012 at 8:26 comment added kovshenin Try to replace your first elseif statement with elseif ( false ) ... and see if you ever reach your second one. You should also paste the code for your custom is_category_or_sub function.
