can I use a conditional Tag here? (7 posts)

    Hello!
    I am new here.
    First of all - Thank you WordPress!

    I have a question about a conditional tag:

    There is a website with normal static pages, and some template pages - and one password-protected page.

    I have two problems
    :
    1. This one page should be password protected - so I can't use a template page - because somehow it's not password protected then. (I don't know how to make template pages password-protected).

    2. The password-protected page is using the "standard-template" because that's the only way for me to get the passwordprotection work.
    The problem is - it uses the same css and div elements like the other pages - when I try to customize the post boxes - it's not working, because when I change it, it changes on all pages...

    Well - my idea: Should I use conditional tags?

    here is the php code: 

    <?php get_header(); ?>

		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
					<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<div class="page-title"><h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1></div>
				<a href="javascript:history.back()">&laquo;&laquo;</a>
				<div class="post-body-2">
					<?php edit_post_link('Edit this page.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
					<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>

					<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

				</div><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Camera_Specs", true); ?>
			</div>
		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

		<?php comments_template(); ?>

		</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    I would like to have something that says: if_is_page('1508') echo "post-body-new-width something like that. I am total new to php.

    So I don't know where to put the code...

    Maybe someone could give me a hint?!

    Thank you very much!

    Greetings,

    you could do that; i would add the conditional class here:

    <div class="post<?php if(is_page('1508') echo " post-body-new-width"; ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

    that would give you a class to format in the css file (style.css) - for instance:

    .post.post-body-new-width { ... }
.post.post-body-new-width .post-title { ... }

    or check the wordpress template tag body_class() - that would give you additional classes depending on your template files, etc.

    edit header.php and change
    <body>
    into
    <body <?php body_class(); ?>>

    and then check in the browser which particular specific classes are in the body tag of your password protected page; and use them im style.css; for instance:

    .particular_template_class .post { ... }

    Dear alchymyth,

    thanks a lot for your reply! I tried your first suggestion,

    <div class="post<?php if(is_page('1508') echo " post-body-new-width"; ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

    but I got this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO

    I will try the ohter suggestions as soon as possible!

    Thank you for your help!

    Hi esmi,

    thank you! It worked - I can see now the code in HTML. But I found out, that it would be better (for me as noob) to just replace or remove the class:

    <div class="post-body-2">

    Because after this, I could make a new "box" class and enter the width for that specific page.

    Is there any way to remove the class with php - in this case on page 1508?

    Thank you guys very much!

    See alchymyth's second suggestion for using body_class().
