    I have registered a custom post type of ‘directory’ and in my loop i have something like this:

    <?php if ( in_category( _x('gallery', 'gallery category slug') ) ) : ?>

    XXX - this is what i expect for gallery posts

<?php elseif ( $post_type = 'directory' ) : ?>

	YYY - this is what i expect for directory (custom) posts

<?php else : ?>

	ZZZ - this is what i expect for regular posts

<?php endif;  ?>

    however, even thou a regular post is not $post_type = ‘directory’ I’m getting YYY – this is what i expect for directory (custom) posts when I’m expecting ZZZ – this is what i expect for regular posts

    help! (please)

    this was solved on trac

    Looks like you are always setting your $post_type = ‘directory’; To do a check you would need to use == rather than =.

    Check the code below, it should do the trick.

    <?php if ( in_category( _x('gallery', 'gallery category slug') ) ) : ?>

    XXX - this is what i expect for gallery posts

<?php elseif ( $post_type == 'directory' ) : ?>

	YYY - this is what i expect for directory (custom) posts

<?php else : ?>

	ZZZ - this is what i expect for regular posts

<?php endif;  ?>
