display/non display post meta by category

  • Hi,

    I would like to know whether it is possible to control the display of post meta data by category. Specifically I have a blog where I want to display the post author only if it is in a specific category. Is that possible; and if so, how?

    For example: if the post category is Opinion, then display the author. if the post category is News, then do not display the author.

    Thank you!

  • You could using a conditional if or case on your category and/or single page template files:

    Not great solution if you needed to target some authors since it wouldn’t be dynamic, etc.

    if is_category(‘opinion’)
    echo get_the_author
    } etc.

    imo it depends really on how much scale you need, who’s maintaining the site, how many categories, etc.

    But I don’t know of a plugin that could manage this.
