Hey there, Themeco Team!

Name: JFantasyBooks

Site Url: https://fantasy-books.live
WordPress Version: 4.6.1
X Version: 4.6.4
Cornerstone Plugin Version: 1.3.3

Problem:

So I have this code in my functions.php . It works, but the problem is I would like it to only work, where the shortcode shows only 1. when there is a post. I also want it to run only 2. during a particular category.

I was given this for the category by x theme

<?php if(is_category( 'category-slug' )): ?>
/*your do_shortcode here*/
<?php endif; ?>

but I want to make sure where to place it so that it runs:

My code:

<?php

   
add_filter( 'x_enqueue_parent_stylesheet', '__return_true' );

  function Mainfunction1() {

       function Subfunction2(){ }
 
      ?>

 <div class="x-nav-1">	
	<?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode']);?> 
</div>

  <?php

}

add_action('x_before_the_content_end', 'x_entry_navigation1');

//============= Other Functions =======

Thanks

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in. Please try this

<?php

   
add_filter( 'x_enqueue_parent_stylesheet', '__return_true' );

function x_entry_navigation_1() {

$categories = array(234, 123, 'awesome-slug', 923, 'another-slug');
$category = get_queried_object(); 

if ( is_category( $categories ) || $category->count > 0 ) :

?>
<div class="x-nav-1">	
	<?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode']);?> 
</div>
<?php

endif;

}

add_action('x_before_the_content_end', 'x_entry_navigation_1');

//============= Other Functions =======

You may add categories as many as you like, it could be category ID, or category slug.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work, and I’m not sure as to why. The code works without being selective about the posts by category, but once I add it that code you suggested… nothing. The whole shortcode no longer appears.

I have added down below a more complete look of a general code at the moment. I hope that helps you make a decision.

Also, there are two options I would like to be provided.

1. Is having the shortcode appear only category.
2. Is having the shortcode appear only on posts (where I don’t have to choose the category. I can just say it’s a post, so appear)

And My Code has sub functions

<?php

//===== There are Statements here ====

add_filter( 'x_enqueue_parent_stylesheet', '__return_true' );

$value;

  function Mainfunction1() {
   
   $categories = get_the_category();
   $category_id = $categories[0]->cat_ID;

     //=== A sub Function Down Below ===

       function Subfunction1(){
         
           switch ($category_id) {
                  
                  //==== there are cases here which declare what $value is equal to ===
                 }
               return value; 
           }

$get_value = value();
//=== some other variables that are used in shortcode ===
      ?>

      <div class="x-nav-1">	
	<?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode']);?> 
      </div>
  <?php

}

add_action('x_before_the_content_end', 'x_entry_navigation1');

//============= Other Functions =======

Thank You,

I know it might seem a bit like much, but this problem has been weighing me down for other things as well. If I get it right here, it could help me take care of the other problems.

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in! I am just confuse on what you wanted to achieve with the given shortcode. All I know is that you can simplify the code without any sub function (might not the best coding practice) into something like this:

Having the shortcode appear only category:
`function x_nav_function_1(){
if (is_category( ‘category-slug’ )) : ?>

<?php endif;
}

Hello There,

Having the shortcode appear only category:

function x_nav_for_category(){
  if ( is_category( 'category-slug-a' ) ) : ?>

    <div class="x-nav-1">	
      <?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode']);?> 
    </div>

  elseif ( is_category( 'category-slug-b' ) ) : ?>

    <div class="x-nav-1">	
      <?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode']);?> 
    </div>

  <?php endif;
}
add_action('x_before_the_content_end', 'x_nav_for_category');

Having the shortcode appear only on posts :

function x_nav_for_single_post(){
  if ( is_single() ) : ?>

    <div class="x-nav-1">	
      <?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode']);?> 
    </div>

  <?php endif;
}
add_action('x_before_the_content_end', 'x_nav_for_single_post');
