Currently the search results are all shown in the same way, no matter if it's a post or a static page. As I don't want the comment count and the categories to show up for static pages, I was wondering how to do it.

The code: (Update October 22nd)

<?php   
if(get_post_type() == 'page') : ?>
  <div class="recent_postMetaSingle">
 <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/eye.png" alt="Views" title="views" /> <?php print_page_views(get_the_ID('')); ?> 
<p>This is a static page!</p></div>
<?php endif; ?>

<div class="recent_postMetaSingle">
 <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/eye.png" alt="Views" title="views" /> <?php print_page_views(get_the_ID('')); ?> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;          <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/comments2.png" alt="Comments" title="comments" /> <?php comments_popup_link('0', '10', '%'); ?> 
</div>
<div class="recent_category"><?php the_category(' // ') ?></div>

Thanks for your help so far. I updated the code. Now, it only shows up on static pages, but the HTML markup below the conditional tag also shows up and I want that to only show up for posts. I guess I have to put an "else" tag somewhere? I just don't know how to implement it correctly.

Thanks a lot in advance!

  • I think you're on the right tracking using get_post_type(). Of course, if you use != 'page' it shows up on posts and not on pages. Could you clarify the problem?

  • Thank you for your comment. Hm, well what you see in the second code snippet is what I want to show ONLY if it's a static page, but not a post, so how would I have to modify the code above in order to achieve that? :)

  • Hello and thank you. I tried it the following way: <?php if (is_page(' <div class="recent_postMetaSingle"> <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/eye.png" alt="Views" title="views" /> <?php print_page_views(get_the_ID('')); ?> <p>This is a static page!</p></div>')) ?> <?php endif; ?> However this outputs a syntax error (unexpected T_STRING). I tried it in a different way and this works better, but I still have a small issue. Please see my updated question, thank you :)
