Adding category link in Blix’s top navigation

  • Hey all!

    I’m using Blix in one page I’m building.
    If you’re not familiar with this template, it uses (for example):

    <li<?php if (is_home()) echo " class="selected""; ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Bloco</a></li>

    …to display a top navigation link called ‘Home’ and it uses the class ‘selected’ if you’re in the home page. Something like that, hope you get the idea.

    What I’m trying to do is doing the same with categories, but I’ve failed…

    I’m using the following code:

    <li<?php if ( in_category('2') ) echo " class="selected""; ?>><a href="https://www.example.com/category/forum/">fórum</a></li>

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance ??

    edit:
    I’ve tried this too:

    <?php if ( in_category('2') ) : ?>
    <li class="selected"><a href="https://www.example.com/category/forum/">fórum</a></li>
    <?php else : ?>
    <li><a href="https://www.example.com/category/forum/">fórum</a></li>
    <?php endif; ?>

    No luck.

  • The in_category Template_Tag can only be used in The Loop. Not too sure why you need the if in category…

    I want to a have a nav link that is ‘selected’ (read: class="selected") when I’m on that category.

    And I’ve read that the in_category template tag is also usable outside of the_loop

    Thanks for pointing that out–here’s an example:

    OK, thanks! So now I have:

    <li<?php
    $post = $wp_query->post;
    if ( in_category('2') ) {
    echo " class=\"selected\"";
    } else {
    echo " class=\"deselected\"";
    }
    ?>><a href="https://www.example.com/category/forum/">fórum</a></li>

    But still no luck…
    Maybe the problem is in $post = $wp_query->post;
    I really can’t figure this one out… =\
