Check in theme header if page is WPAdverts

    I am trying to have my theme header show different if/else depending if the page is a regular post/page vs a WPAdverts page/listing
    Is there anything I can check to see if the current page is a WPAdverts page?

    For the main page I can manually check the page ID using is_page()
    For categories, I see the taxonomy is specific, so I can use is_tax(‘advert_category’)
    But I don’t see anything for the actual listing pages

    Hi,
    to check if you are currently viewing “advert” custom post type page you can use the is_singular( 'advert' ) function.

    Thanks.
    That doesn’t seem to work for me.
    I am viewing a specific classified item / post, but when I check get_post_type() for the page it shows as “post”.

    What code you are using (and where) to check if the current page is an Advert?

    Maybe the code is executed before parse_query action so when running your code WordPress does not know yet what page is being shown?

    Thanks again
    I tried putting the following code in theme header.php and theme footer.php

    echo get_post_type(); ;
    if ( is_singular( ‘advert’ ) ) {
    echo ‘advert’;
    }

    the first line results as “post”
    The second echo doesn’t show

    I am not sure where the parse_query is called, but I assume the footer should work

    I have added the code below in my theme functions.php file

    
add_action( "wp_footer", function() {
    if( is_singular( 'advert' ) ) {
        echo "[You are viewing Ad details page.]";
    }
} );

    It always correctly shows a [You are viewing Ad details page.] text when i am on Ad details page (that is for example https://demo.wpadverts.com/lite/advert/rayman-legends/).

    This worked, thanks!
    I added the action to the wp_head and created a global variable if is_singular(‘advert’) which then allows me to control the rest of the theme.
    Thanks for your help!
