 * Hey guys,
 * I am using the following code for the single post:
 *     ```
       <?php
         $post = $wp_query->post;
         if (in_category('portfolio')) {
             include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/single_portfolio.php');
         } elseif (in_category('news')) {
             include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/single_news.php');
         } elseif(has_tag('review') && in_category('news')){
             include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/single_review.php');
         }
         else{
             include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/single_default.php');
         }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * However, for the single_review I am checking if it’s inside category news and
   has tag “review”, but it’s not working. Any suggestions? Thank you.

 * what is ‘not working’?
 * from the sequence of your conditional statements, anything in the category ‘news’
   will get the template ‘/single_news.php’ –
 * rewrite the code, going from the specific to the general ….

 * [@micheal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/micheal/) thank you so much. You
   were right, it was enough to swap the order of the condition, I guess my brain
   was frying. For anyone else who might need this. Here s the working code.
 * <?php
    $post = $wp_query->post; if (in_category(‘portfolio’)) { include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/
   single_portfolio.php’); } elseif(has_tag(‘review’) && in_category(‘news’)){ include(
   TEMPLATEPATH.’/single_review.php’); } elseif (in_category(‘news’)) { include(
   TEMPLATEPATH.’/single_news.php’); } else{ include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/single_default.
   php’); } ?>
