Help Writing a Category Specific Conditional

[Brandon]

I’m trying to write a conditional that will allow me to put a bit of text at the top of the category list page that is specific to that category. I know how to do this with regular WordPress categories but am not sure of how to structure the call because of the specific taxonomy used for the event calendar. I’ve created a new events/list.php template in my theme, and can see it’s being used, so all good there, I just need a bit of help with what template tag to use for the query.

As an example, I would like to put a different description at the top of this page:

http://bcparadev.org/event-calendar/category/fundraising

than this one:

http://bcparadev.org/event-calendar/category/partner

Any advice appreciated.

Hey Brandon. This should be doable; let me get our dev Jonah to take a look here and respond directly.

Hi Brandon,

I believe what you’re looking for is something along these lines:


if(term_exists('fundraising', 'tribe_events_cat')) {
//different description
}


This was also talked about here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/event-category-specific-sidebars/#post-11186

I hope that helps,
Jonah
