   I want this conditional to work on all single posts EXCEPT if it is in category 8... but it doesn't seem to work?
   if ( is_single()||!in_category('8')) {

   This is my full code
   

   <?php
   if ( is_single()||!in_category('8')) {
     $categories = get_the_category();
     if ($categories) {
       foreach ($categories as $category) {
         // echo "<pre>"; print_r($category); echo "</pre>";
         $cat = $category->cat_ID;
         $args=array(
           'cat' => $cat,
           'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
           'posts_per_page'=>99,
           'caller_get_posts'=>1
         );
         $my_query = null;
         $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
         if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
           echo '<h2>The '. $category->category_description . ' label</h2>';
           echo '<p>These are more clothes from the same '. $category->category_description . ' label</p>';
           while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
             		<?php get_the_image( array( 'default_size' => 'medium', 'width'=>'130', 'height'=>'130', 'image_scan' => true, 'link_to_post' => true, 'link_to_image' => false, 'image_class' => 'alignleft', 'default_image' => 'http://spinifexcoolwear.com.au/wp-content/uploads/coolwear-260x277.jpg') ); ?>
            <?php
           endwhile;
         } //if ($my_query)
       } //foreach ($categories
     } //if ($categories)
     wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   } //if (is_single())
   ?>

   Hi,

   It seems for what you're trying to do; "single posts EXCEPT if it is in category 8", your current code
   if ( is_single()||!in_category('8')) {
   Is actually saying if single OR not in cat 8, where you want to say, if single AND not in cat 8...

   Maybe try:

   if ( is_single() && !in_category('8')) {

   Try using AND instead of OR in this case because you want a condition where the page is single, AND the page is not in cat 8... if you use OR, it'll be true as long as it's a single page... if you use AND, it'll only be "true" if both conditions (is single and not in cat 8), is true.

   Hope this helps.
