Problems with in_category()

    Hi,

    I want to style single posts of category 1 different than those of category 2. In the function reference I read that this can be achieved with in_category() so I added the tag to my single.php file within the loop. However, now it says I have an unexpected error ‘<‘ on line 36.

    Here is my code:

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php if ( in_category( 'news' )) {

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="single"><?php the_content(__('Read more', ''));?></div>

} else {

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div>A lot of code including custom fields and an if statement if a user is logged in etc. </div>

}
?>

    Any idea what I am doing wrong? Would appreciate your help!

  • make sure to close and open your php tags anytime the code switches to and from html code:

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php if ( in_category( 'news' )) { ?>

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="single"><?php the_content(__('Read more', ''));?></div>

<?php } else { ?>

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div>A lot of code including custom fields and an if statement if a user is logged in etc. </div>

<?php }
?>
