Query the category of a wiki page

Hi @panicfomo – I hope all is well with you.

Where are you thinking to put this code? In your child theme? If so, what theme are you using? What shortcode are you wanting to output? Where do you want the shortcode’s output to go?

Thanks,

David

This code will be executed by XYZ PHP Code plugin. (it allows to run PHP code in random places by wrapping it in shortcodes)

This code should be executed in the context of a wiki page. The PHP shortcode will be inserted in a content template in Impreza theme. https://themeforest.net/item/impreza-retina-responsive-wordpress-theme/6434280

A shortcode would display a page block (some HTML output) in the theme.

Basically, I need to know how to check if that wiki page belongs to a certain wiki category.

if ( wiki_category == 'X' ) echo 'Y';

I can take it from there.

You can try this:

// this should be placed within the loop of the template outputting the wiki page
$myterms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID() , 'wiki_cats' );
if ( $myterms != null ){
	foreach( $myterms as $term ) {
		//substitute your category for quick-snacks
 		if ($term->slug=="quick-snacks") {
			print "found match"."<br/>";
		}
		//you can remove the next line. it is here to help you see what is being returned
		print $term->slug."<br/>" ;
		//you should probably keep this
		unset($term);
	}
}
?>

I hope this helps.

That’s what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
