I have two categories (our work and news) and only one single.php If looking at a single post in the news category then I want to show the thumbnail too so have inserted:
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {the_post_thumbnail('medium');} ?>
But I dont want this to appear if viewing a single post within the our work category, what can I add to remove this for category ID#2?
I would do it this way. It will work even if you assign multiple categories to posts.
if ( has_post_thumbnail() && has_category('news') ) { // or !has_category('our-work')
the_post_thumbnail('medium');
}
You could do this :
$categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
$cat = $categories[0]->cat_name;
if ( has_post_thumbnail() && $cat == 'news' ) { the_post_thumbnail('medium'); }
*EDIT: the code grabs the post category, line 2 grabs cat name from the object and I use it as a condition in if statement *
