Query post category within Repeater Template/s

    Hello ??

    Is it possible to query the category of the post within the Repeater Template to in turn amend the layout that this outputs?

    I basically have a grid of Posts I would like to output, some will be News, Client stories, Events, each being a different post category, and depending upon the category I need it to show with a certain box class, different fields, etc. as I need them to all look different.

    Something like :

    if ( in_category ( ‘event’ ) ) {
    <article class=”box-event”>…</article>
    } elseif ( in_category ( ‘client-story’ ) ) {
    <article class=”banner-clientstory”>…</article>
    } else {
    <article class=”box-news”>…</article>
    }

    Is this possible? And sorry if this is somewhere in the documentation, I couldn’t spot it.

    Many thanks ??

    Great stuff, no I haven’t yet as it’s my weekend task, but just wanted to check ahead as if not I’d have had to find another solution, which I didn’t want to do as I love your plugin :).

    Will let you know the outcome, I want to combine it with Masonry too as per your documentation, so if it all works out it should look great – watch this space!

    Hey Darren,

    Firstly sorry to bug you again! I thought I’d done really well and got it working, and I kind of have, but once I put masonry on (it kicks in) but it then won’t load more posts in…, it’s like they are coming in but not showing visually on the page. Argh – What am I doing wrong?

    You can see the page here : https://memerycrystal.temporarywebsiteaddress.com/

    My shortcode is :

    [ajax_load_more post_type=”post” posts_per_page=”12″ container_type=”div” css_classes=”grid”]

    My repeater code is (which I know is working ok as without masonry they all feed in ok) :

    <?php if ($alm_item == 1) { ?>
    <div class=”grid-sizer”></div>
    <article class=”grid-item grid-item–width2″><p style=”height: 560px;”>asdasd</p></article>
    <?php } else { ?>

    <?php if ( in_category ( ‘client-stories’ ) ) { ?>
    <article class=”grid-item”><p style=”height: 505px;”>client story</p></article>
    <?php } elseif ( in_category ( ‘opinions’ ) ) { ?>
    <article class=”grid-item”><p style=”height: 305px;”>opinions</p></article>
    <?php } elseif ( in_category ( ‘tweets’ ) ) { ?>
    <article class=”grid-item”><p style=”height: 405px;”>tweet</p></article>
    <?php } elseif ( in_category ( ‘instagram’ ) ) { ?>
    <article class=”grid-item”><p style=”height: 305px;”>instagram</p></article>
    <?php } else { ?>
    <article class=”grid-item”><p style=”height: 305px;”>other</p></article>
    <?php } ?>

    <?php } ?>

    Thanks so much Darren and sorry to be annoying!!

    Sorry, I also forgot to say they are also not auto-showing on scroll, you have to hit load more to reveal more, but that was happening before masonry in case that helps?
