Add categories to page template body tag

Hello,

You can try a plugin ‘Custom Body Class’ to do it. Let me know it works or not.

I would rather have the already assigned categories somehow printed out in the body tag. I have quite a lot of pages. Your suggestion could work, though it would need a load of work. The posts have their categories printed out in the body tag. Is there no way to do the same with pages?

You can try the below code and edit it as per your need. Hope it helps you. Add it to the functions.php file of the child theme.

add_filter( 'body_class', 'my_page_body_class');
function my_page_body_class( $classes ) {
     if ( is_page() || is_category() )
          $classes[] = 'add-class';
 
     return $classes; 
}

Ok, I am not very fluent in PHP nor in WordPress coding.

I add your code and every page get the ‘add-class’ in the body tag. But where do I add the wanted category? The pages are already assigned to categories.

I tried this
‘if ( is_page() && is_category(6) )
$classes[] = ‘wanted-category’;’

‘if ( is_page() && is_category(‘6’) )
$classes[] = ‘wanted-category’;’

‘if ( is_page() && is_category(‘category-slug’) )
$classes[] = ‘wanted-category’;’

*whine* ??

The code I gave you is the example. You need to edit it as per your need. You can also hire a developer for this.

I changed to the in_category(‘6’) function, and now it works … Thanks.

Glad to hear that it is fixed!
