Post template based on categories

  • I have successfully

    1. Created a page displaying posts on a category
    2. Created a custom field to display menu based on that page

    But when I click on a post of that category, the menu comes back to the default one.

    What I try to achieve is, all posts in that category and subcategories will show the menu that I designed for the category and subs. Should I use conditional tags or something?

    Any help is appreciated…

    Is there anyone around?

    Yes, conditional tag in_category() is a variant to use.

    Thanks… I will try that. Is there any way to declare the category and its subcategories? Adding numbers is hard

    $special_cats[] = 1; // 1 is ID of parent cat
$args = array(
    'child_of' => $special_cats[0];
);
$categories = get_categories($args);
foreach($categories as $category) {
    $special_cats[] = $category->cat_ID;
}
(in_category($special_cats) || is_category($special_cats)) ? $theme_location = 'special' : $theme_location = 'default';
wp_nav_menu(array(
    'theme_location' => $theme_location
));
