Hi,
This may be simple but I searched around, read some solutions but couldn't figure it out. I want to add some static text to only ONE of my category pages, e.g., http://futurepocket.com/category/lifestyle/
I want to add some text to the top of that category before any of the posts are displayed (possibly in a box). If also possible, I want to arrange the posts so they appear beside each other rather than below each other. That's not the category I want to add the text to, I have yet to create that category, but just wanted to know how I would do that before I made the category. Thanks in advance!
What is "OUTSIDE" the loop, which file? And do we label the name as the category "A" (put name of category in place of A)?
What is "OUTSIDE" the loop
Before (or sometimes, after) The Loop.
which file?
category-lifestyle.php
And do we label the name as the category "A" (put name of category in place of A)?
Ignore that section. It's another approach entirely.
Since this is such a minor change to the default template, I would modify the category.php template file, rather than creating an entirely separate category-lifestyle.php template file.
Simply add something like the following:
if ( is_category( 'lifestyle' ) ) {
// We are on the lifestyle category archive page; do something
?>
ADD STATIC TEXT/MARKUP HERE
<?php
}
Thanks CHIP much appreciated :)

Hello,
Please can you tell me where you would put that within the category.php file??
Thanks :-)
where you would put that within the category.php file
whereever you want the text to show up.
