this is my code
<?php
$portfolio_categories = get_categories(array('taxonomy'=>'portfolio_category'));
foreach($portfolio_categories as $portfolio_category)
echo '<li data-filter=".' .$portfolio_category->slug. '"><a href="#">' .$portfolio_category->name. '</a></li> ';
?>
this shows the filters created by the category's name inside $portfolio_categories then, there is the creation of client's list
<ul id="list" class="portfolio_list clearfix responsive">
<?php
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'orderby'=> 'title', 'order' => 'ASC' ) );
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, 'portfolio_category'); ?>
<?php $pf_bimg = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() );?>
<?php $pf_simg = aq_resize( $pf_bimg, 420, 450, true ); ?>
<li class="span3 list_item <?php foreach ($terms as $term) { echo $term->slug.' '; } ?>">
<div class="recent-item">
<figure>
<div class="touching medium">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class=""><img src="<?php echo $pf_simg; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
<!-- <a href="<?php echo $pf_bimg; ?>" class="hover-zoom mfp-image"><i class="icon-search"></i></a>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="hover-link"><i class="icon-link"></i></a> -->
</div>
<figcaption class="item-description">
<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class=""><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>
<span><?php $i = 0; foreach ($terms as $term) { if($i)echo " / "; echo $term->name; $i=1; } ?></span>
</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?> <?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query();?>
</ul>
What i 'm trying to do is to display a different element for every different category . I thought to insert an if condition before the tag , like this
<?php
$portfolio_categories = get_categories(array('taxonomy'=>'portfolio_category'));
if ($portfolio_category = 'category1'): ?>
<figure>1</figure>
<?php else: ?>
<figure>2</figure>
<?php endif
?>
Thank all for your time, Dan
