Thanks everyone!!
Alchymyth’s solution does exactly what I want: the post which is on top determines the blog style!

Thank you again for your patience and assistance!

Thank you mindctrl for the good idea.

As my programming skills are not very advanced, it took me a while to understand your approach. Generally speaking it is a very elegant way.

But this will always return the latest post as body class. No matter on which page I go the body class is always the one of the most recent post. (even though I am viewing a post from an other category.)

So this approach is too ‘global’…

Is there no easier way to return the category of the current post? I mean the one that is on top.

thank you for your reply!

Maybe I have not stated clearly enough what I want to achieve.

is_category() only works for category pages. And is_single() && in_category() only changes the single post style.

But I want that my mainpage acquires the style of the most recent post (the one on top).

Here one example:
My mainpage displays the recent posts (like a standard blog) in reverse chronoligical order (newest top, oldest bottom). Like here:

• Post A (Newest) [Cat: Banana]
• Post B [Cat: Strawberry]
• Post C [Cat: Strawberry]

I have different theme options for each category and I want the mainpage to have the theme of the most recent one – in this case Banana.

But somehow in_category() asks for the last post (the one on the bottom, the old one, in the example ‘Post C’) and the mainpage is displayed with the Strawberry theme.

How can I ask for the most recent category (in the example: Banana)?

Thank you very much for your support.

I also totally agree! We need an update with some small new features like the mashup-map. And also different location output styles would be nice (e.g. display the coordinates instead of the address)

I hope we will see some of these changes in the near future.

Cheers!
