[Resolved] Conditional code in hook

[Aaron]

I’ve just started trying to write php and am trying to enter a shortcode after content for one category. Here’s what I have:

<?php if ( is_category( 'hearing' ) ) : ?>
    <?php  echo do_shortcode( ' [elementor-template id=“701”] ' );  ?>
<?php endif; ?>

But I cannot get it working.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Hi there,

Are you wanting it to show up after the single post content, or on the category archive page?

[Aaron]

Hi Tom.

Single posts only.

Thanks for the quick response.

[Tom]

Try this instead:

<?php if ( in_category( 'hearing' ) ) : ?>
    <?php echo do_shortcode( '[elementor-template id="701"]' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

[Aaron]

That’s working now. But it’s also showing up on the archive page for that category.

Got it. Had to add && is_single().

Phew. I really wish conditional statements were easier. Thanks, Tom.

[Tom]

Glad I could help 🙂

Hi Aaron or Tom, Could you please post the whole code with the && is_single() ammendement? Thanks !

This should be it:

<?php if ( in_category( 'hearing' ) && is_single() ) : ?>
    <?php echo do_shortcode( '[elementor-template id="701"]' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
