Paul DavisHello everyone.
I'm building a quite complex site at the moment, and I'm having 2 problems with the conditional tags. I know how to use them, and have used them successfully in past designs. Here's my problems:
1, The current site I'm developing calls for a div to be loaded but only for it's corresponding category. It works fine on the main parent category, but I also want it to show on each sub-category under the main one too. So I want it shown in site.com/category/services and site.com/category/services/more. In-fact every sub-category under the main one.
Here's the code I have now which is in the archive.php file:
<?php if (is_category('services')) { ?>
<div id="services_panel">
<!-- Image is loaded from CSS -->
<p><?php echo category_description(get_category_by_slug('services')->term_id); ?></p>
</div>
<?php } ?>
2, The conditional statement which works in the loop just before the posts will not work outside the loop. I want to load a sidebar that corresponds to the category the page is displaying.
Here's that code too, also in the archive.php file.
<?php else : ?>
<h2>Not Found</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="grid_4">
<?php if(is_category('services')) { ?>
<?php get_sidebar('services'); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<p>if/else didnt work. =[</p>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
