Thesis / using is_category in custom_functions not working

  • Hi all,

    I’m trying to target single posts within a certain category. In those single posts within that category, I want to display additional info, which works.

    My problem is that I can’t target that specific category; the additional info displays on all single posts. I’m sure my category id = 3. Here’s what I have:

    /* adding transcript and sponsor custom fields */
	function additional_post_info() {
		if ( is_category('3') ) { ?>
		<div class="additionalPostInfo">
			<h3>Transcript</h3>
			<div class="transcript">
				<?php the_field('interview_transcript'); ?>
			</div>

			<div class="sponsors">
				<h3>Sponsors</h3>
				<?php the_field('interview_sponsors'); ?>
			</div>
		</div><!-- additionalPostInfo -->
	<?php }
	}
	add_action('thesis_hook_after_post','additional_post_info');

    I’ve also tried
    if ( is_category('3') && is_single() )

    which also is not working.

    Any ideas?

  • Hi,

    I have the same problem, I want to customize some category pages, like this : 

    function custom_archive_info() {
	if (is_category('equipamiento')) { ?>
    <div class="post_box top intro_block">
        <div class="headline_area">
        	<h1><?php single_cat_title(); ?></h1>
        </div>
        <div class="format_text">
        	<p>text goes here</p>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php }
}
remove_action('thesis_hook_archive_info', 'thesis_default_archive_info');
add_action('thesis_hook_archive_info', 'custom_archive_info');

    I hope you can help.
    Thanks

    Sorry I thought we had the same problem !

    @clegeard the answer to my issue was to use in_category && is_single. i don’t think we have the same issue.

    also try the thesis forums, they might be able to help better.
