• I am developing a personal theme that has a different post style for 3 different categories. Inspired by Tumblrs different images per category.

    I understand that post_class can help you achieve this but I am asking for a completely different style post (including alignment within the image box).. versus just a header color change.

    Here is a mark-up through html of what I want to achieve…(The post at the bottom if category specific) Mark-Up

    As noted: (for the rest of my content post is have this)

    <div id="content">
      <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <div id="post" <?php the_ID(); ?>>
        <div class="posttop"></div>
        <div id="postmiddle">
          <div class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></div>
          <div id="info"><small>Born On:</small> <?php the_date('F jS, Y'); ?></div>
          <div id="info2"><small>Subject:</small> <?php the_category(', '); ?></div>
          <?php the_content('Read More???'); ?>
        </div>
        <div class="postbottom"> Comments (<?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%', '', __('Off')); ?>) * Like (48)</div>
       </div>

    But I want this code to be added for if(category-sounds):

    <div id="musicsheet">
          <div class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></div>
         <div id="infocenter">
          <div id="info3">Born On: <?php the_date('F jS, Y'); ?></div>
         </div>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
          <div class="like">Like (27)</div>
       </div>

    Now in post_class: it states in css style for “.category_sounds” to implement the image and size and such…. but what about the positioning inside? How would it be able to call those even if I did have “.category_sounds .info3”, how can it pick it up without html?

    And how would that convert to functions.php?

    I dont see anybody doing this in WordPress..

    I really would like to know how this would be executed? Thank You
