根据Wordpress中的类别更改帖子图片

Question

I am working in the Reventon theme, and I am in the file post.php.

On the blog page, there is an image that is spit out on the left side of every post. I am trying to change that picture depending on what category is assigned to the post.

I have tried using this so far:

if (is_category('video')) {
        ?>
            <div class="post-format-icon rectangle-shadow">
                <i class="icon-entypo-play-align-left"></i>
            </div>
        <?php
    } elseif (is_category('Podcast')) {
        ?>
            <div class="post-format-icon rectangle-shadow">
                <i class="icon-entypo-rss-align-left"></i>
            </div>
        <?php
    } else {
        ?>
            <div class="post-format-icon rectangle-shadow">
                <i class="icon-symbol-align-left"></i>
            </div>
        <?php
    }

but for some reason it keeps triggering the ending else statement and not giving the unique picture depending on the category.. Where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

Use in_category( 'category_name' ) instead of is_category(). The latter is for checking if a category archive page is being displayed, not the category of a post. Have a look at The WordPress Codex.
