How to set featured image on single posts based on category?

    I’m using this code to display featured image on my posts.

    <?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): ?>
<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
<div id="custom_bg">
<img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

    But the featured images are shown on all posts, which is great. But i’m wondering if i can only display this code on posts based on their category?

    Any ideas?

  • Try this (assuming the id for the category is 20):

    <?php if ( in_category(20) ) { ?>
<p>DO SOMETHING</p>
<?php } else { ?>
<p>DO SOMETHING ELSE</p>
<?php } ?>

    with your code it would look like this:

    <?php if ( in_category(20) ) { ?>
//do something
<?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): ?>
<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
<div id="custom_bg">
<img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php } else { ?>
//Do something else
<?php } ?>
