Get custom title if category

Question

All of my categories has a custom single post title type, such: "How to TITLE Free" and then the article.

I want to get another title if category is News. So i won't have "How To TITLE Free" for single posts titles, but instead I will have "TITLE" only.

How can I do this? Thank you.

Answer 1

change this one line in your code:

<h1 class="article-title entry-title">How To <?php the_title(); ?> Free</h1>

to: CORRECTION:

<h1 class="article-title entry-title"><?php if( in_category( array('news') ) ) { the_title(); } else { ?> How To <?php the_title(); ?> Free<?php } ?></h1>

Answer 2

use get_the_category() to get category of posts. Compare it with your required category like:

$category = get_the_category();
if($category[0]->name == 'news') { 
   echo the_title();
} else {
   echo "title";
}

Hope this helps
