    This code (below) I need help with.. It does not seem to check the parent category ID, so it jumps right to the end… I appreciate any help! Thanks..

    <title>
<?php if (is_single() || is_page() ) : if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php
$ep_category = get_the_category();

if ($ep_category->category_parent == 498) { ?>
Watch <?php the_title(); ?> 01010101011 | <?php
$ep_title_category = $ep_category;
echo $ep_title_category[0]->cat_name;
}

else if ($ep_category->category_parent == 500) { ?>
Watch <?php the_title(); ?> 1010101101 | <?php
$ep_title_category = $ep_category;
echo $ep_title_category[0]->cat_name;
}

?>

<?php endwhile; endif; elseif(is_home()) : ?>
0101010101101011
<?php endif; ?>
</title>

    $ep_category is a category object, as returned from get_the_category() – even if you only have one category in your post.

    if you only have one category in your post, try to use:

    if ($ep_category[0]->category_parent == 498) { ?>

    besides, categories are generally not defined in pages.
