Display text based on category of custom post

    Hello,

    I have a theme based restaurant menu and I’d like to add some additional information after the post for that specific category.

    For example…

    <?php if (is_category('white')) : ?>
<p>White wine is yummy!</p>
<?php endif; ?>

    The problem is, it doesn’t work.

    If I do:

    <?php if (is_archive('white')) : ?>
<p>White Wine is yummy!</p>
<?php endif; ?>

    It works, but it displays on all archive pages.

    I’m guessing I need to specify the category of the custom post type which would be “wines” but I’m just not sure how to implement it.

    I have very little knowledge of php, so any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Ah, try it with is_tax():
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/is_tax

    <?php if(is_tax( 'menu_type', 'kids-menu' ) ) : ?>
<p>A portion of all meals will go to the Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation.</p>
<?php endif; ?>

    You’re welcome ?? I also found another solution by adding an extra description field to the taxonomy “menu_type” edit page.
    If you want you can put this in your theme’s functions.php: https://pastebin.com/gbucRFL7

    Add the descriptions to the terms and use a conditional as this to show the extra description:

    <?php if (get_term_extra_description()) : ?>
<p><?php echo get_term_extra_description(); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

    I’m glad you’ve got it resolved.

    Heck! You just don’t stop giving, do you?! ??

    I’m glad you shared this as an alternate solution! This would be a great option if the client is the one doing the editing allowing them to easily include additional category information in a separate area!

    Great share! Thanks again keesiemeijer! ??
