Function to call either single post or category

Question

I'm trying to display content depending on if a user is in a category or a single post.

The function i'm using if this is a category is:

<?php if (is_category('')) { ?>

Similarly the function i'm using if this is a single post is:

<?php } elseif (is_single($post)) { ?>

How can I join these 2 functions creating a single function call to say if this is any category OR any single post?

Answer 1

If this is the same if/else, you can just combine into if ( is_category() || is_single() ). You don't need to pass anything to is_category() or is_single() most of the time, unless you are looking for a category or post in particular.
