Need to show different text depending on Custom Post Type Term

    Hi I’m having a problem and I’m just running around in circles. Hopefully someone can help.

    Here’s a link to the dev site that has all the CPTs, it’s the single posts that are the problem .
    wideskyhosting.com/turnerphotography/galleries

    I have a Custom Post Type called “gallery” with a taxonomy called “gallery_catagory”

    In gallery_catagory I have catagories (I’m guessing this is a term, not 100% sure) “Wedding” “Commercial”… and a few more.

    I need on each of these catagories/terms I need to display different text on each. I’ve tried a bunch of stuff but nothings working.

    I tried making a template for one as a test
    taxonomy-gallery-commercial.php, I tried Widget Logic, and I tried just an if/else based on the name but the closest I’ve gotten is displaying things on all the pages not each individual one.

    This is what my functions looks like:

    add_action('init', 'galleries_register');

function galleries_register() {

	$labels = array(
		'name' => _x('Turner Galleries', 'post type general name'),
		'singular_name' => _x('Gallery', 'post type singular name'),
		'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'gallery'),
		'add_new_item' => __('Add New Gallery'),
		'edit_item' => __('Edit Gallery'),
		'new_item' => __('New Gallery'),
		'view_item' => __('View Gallery'),
		'search_items' => __('Search Gallery'),
		'not_found' =>  __('Nothing found'),
		'not_found_in_trash' => __('Nothing found in Trash'),
		'parent_item_colon' => ''
	);

	$args = array(
		'labels' => $labels,
		'public' => true,
		'publicly_queryable' => true,
		'show_ui' => true,
		'query_var' => true,
		'menu_icon' => null,
		'rewrite' => true,
		'capability_type' => 'post',
		'hierarchical' => false,
		'menu_position' => null,
		'supports' => array('title','editor','author','thumbnail','excerpt','comments','custom-fields','post-formats')
	  ); 

	register_post_type( 'gallery' , $args );
}
function gallery_taxonomy() {  //This registers the taxonomy, catagory like funtionality
   register_taxonomy(
    'gallery_catagory',  //what you want to name this taxonomy
    'gallery',  //what you called the CPT above
    array(
        'hierarchical' => true,
        'label' => 'Gallery Catagory',
        'query_var' => true,
        'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'gallery-catagory')
    )
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'gallery_taxonomy' );

    I had a thought and maybe this is the issue I just don’t know how to fix.
    When you click through to each single post the url for example is
    /gallery/sara-tommy

    not
    gallery/weddings/sara-tommy
    so maybe it’s a permalinks thing?

    Thanks for taking the time to read this long post ??

  • So are you saying that when someone selects a gallery (which is the custom post type) and it has a certain term, you want to display something?

    If you know what all your terms are you can check to see if it has the term in the custom post type template.

    Thanks so much! Got it working now. In case this helps anyone in the future here’s my code:

    <?php if( has_term( 'weddings', 'gallery_catagory' ) ) {
    // do something
    	echo "<p>You did it!</p>";
}
elseif( has_term( 'commercial', 'gallery_catagory' ) ) {
    // do something
    	echo "<p>You did it again!</p>";
}
?>

    and to explain what those are ‘weddings’ and ‘commercial’ are my terms and ‘gallery_catagory’ is my taxonomy.
