    Hello!

    I am trying to output a shortcode if a post belongs to a certain category.

    Would this work? If so, where should I put it so that it will work?

    
<?php
	if (has_category('oldsite')) {
	    echo do_shortcode( '[types field='body'][/types]' );
	else {
		// do nothing
	}
?>

    That would work. Put it in single.php (if your theme has one).

    Update: For anyone who reads this thread in the future. I used the wrong quotes. I should have done double quotes, not single quotes. Likewise the “else” part is completely unnecessary. This is the revised code:

    
<?php
		if (has_category('oldsite')) {
			echo do_shortcode( "[types field='body'][/types]" );
		}
		?>

    Now it works!
