 * I need to create a conditional to show a different header. I have seen and used
   conditionals before but can’t get this to work.
 * I want the header to be displayed for a category (let’s say category 5) archive
   page _and_ the same header when single posts of that same category are displayed.
   I guess I don’t know how to do this and/or logic, any help is appreciated.
 * (off topic: years ago I had this same user name but my old password didn’t work,
   I am surprised I was just able to register the same user name and email again
   today, at some point things get/were deleted here?)

 * How about:
 *     ```
       <?php if( is_category('5') || ( is_single() && in_category('5') ) ) :?>
       [ ... ]
       <?php endif;?>
       ```
