 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to combine some conditional tags and can’t figure out why this particular
   combination isn’t working for the second half (it works for the tags part but
   not the single posts in categories). This is what I have:
 * if( is_tag( array(10743, 10746, 10737, 10739, 10741, 10744, 10740, 10742, 10745))
   || (is_single() && in_category( array( 115,181,460 ) )) )
 * Any help would be great.
    Thanks, Luke

 * Where is this code being used? It is possible that the $post object is not available.
   Perhaps declaring $post global before your test will help.

 * Hi,
 * I’m using it in widget logic.
 * It works if I use it by itself but not if combing it.
 * Am I missing a bracket in the code or something?
 * Thanks

 * Try using this:
 *     ```
       global $post;
       if( is_tag( array(10743, 10746, 10737, 10739, 10741, 10744, 10740, 10742, 10745)) || (is_single() && in_category( array( 115,181,460 ) )) )
       ```

 * Thanks, but no that didn’t work either.

 * Try removing the ‘if’.
