   I am building a featured content gallery in my template which will be generated by a category like 'slideshow-1'.

   I want to set up a conditional statement so in the case that I only have one post in the 'slideshow-1' category the template will then load just the featured image styled to look like a static version of the slider instead of the actual slider.

   something like
   if ( cat='slideshow-1' has more than one post){
   // show slider
   }
   else (cat='slideshow-1' has only one post) {
   // show static featured image and title excerpt.
   }

   My question is there a conditional for 'more than 1 post in cat' or ' 'just one1 post in cat'?

   thanks!

   You could do something like this... (Where '1' is the id of the category you are checking.

   $cat_count = get_category('1')->count;
   if( $cat_count == 1 ) {
      // DO STUFF
   }
