Using is_category and in_category together

    I am trying to show category-specific banners. I want a category’s banner to show up whether you’re on a category archive OR on a post within a category. I am having trouble constructing the IF statement. It is outside the loop, in the header code.

    I thought I could use:
    <?php if (is_category('city')) || in_category('city')) : ?>
    But only the first part of that statement has any effect.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    You’ve got one too many closing parentheses in the first part of the statement. It should look like this:

    <?php if (is_category('city') || in_category('city')) : ?>
