Trying to make my Category Array work

    Hello,
    In a previous template, I have a bit of code using a category array, and some conditional statements. I would like to do something similar with my current Template: Twenty Twelve (Child), but I’m not having much luck making it work.

    I would like to include this code in my content.php file: 

    if ( in_category( array('Political Cartoons', 'Political Statements' ) )) {

<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

elseif ( in_category( array('Scripture', 'Biblical', 'Biblical Resources', 'Quotes', 'Holidays/Anniversaries', 'Article', 'Political', 'Political Literature', 'Political Terms', 'Admin') )) {

Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

else {

Written by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

endif;

    The problem is, I’m not sure how to make all of the condition statements work correctly. If someone could help me tweak it so that it will work correctly, I would really appreciate it.

  • Hello markross67,

    here it is.

    <?php if ( in_category( array('Political Cartoons', 'Political Statements') ) ) : ?>

<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

<?php elseif ( in_category( array('Scripture', 'Biblical', 'Biblical Resources', 'Quotes', 'Holidays/Anniversaries', 'Article', 'Political', 'Political Literature', 'Political Terms', 'Admin') ) ) : ?>

Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

<?php else : ?>

Written by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

<?php endif; ?>

    Make sure you have always a closing ?> tag, before opening a new <?php one.

    I hope this helps you.

    Thank you so much, implenton! It worked perfectly!!! ??

    Here is the final result:

    <!-- Custom: If single post... -->
<?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
  <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

  <?php if ( in_category( array('Political Cartoons', 'Political Statements') ) ) : ?>

     <u>Posted <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></u>

  <?php elseif ( in_category( array('Scripture', 'Biblical', 'Biblical Resources', 'Quotes', 'Holidays/Anniversaries', 'Article', 'Political', 'Political Literature', 'Political Terms', 'Admin') ) ) : ?>

    <u>Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></u>

  <?php else : ?>

    <u>Written by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> </u>

  <?php endif; ?>  

<?php endif; // is_single() ?>

<!-- Custom: If not single post... -->
<?php if (! is_single() ) : ?>  

  <h1 class="entry-title">
  <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
  </h1>
  <u>Posted <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></u>  

<?php endif; // is_single() ?>
