URL Segment Condition Not Working

[Maratopia_Digital]

Hello,

I’ve seen that on this forum @alexander mentions that it is possible to have conditions based on URL segments. Unfortunately, I just can’t seem to get it to work. Here is what I’m looking for:

When a URL has hire in the path, I want it to show this section. If it has online-sales in the URL path then I want to show this other section.

Here are the condition expressions I’ve been trying but with no luck:
{{dc:url:segment}} is hire
{{dc:url:segment}} in hire
hire in {{dc:url:segment}}
and a few more as well…

Am i doing something wrong here? Can you give me a bit of guidance on this?

So the WP Query has to be like this: year={{dc:url:segment}}&monthnum={{dc:url:segment index="1"}} to just show me the pos…

Ahh, that’s why then! Yep, it’s working now.

We really need better documentation on each of these DCs, to explain how they are meant to work and what they are for.

But thanks for the quick reply.
