Customized landingpages for categories

1 comment

1. Here is the Template Hierarchy, which gives you an overview of the different approaches.

   You could create for each category an individual PHP file:

   • either category-{CATEGORY ID}.php
   • or category-{CATEGORY SLUG}.php.

   Or you could use a single file category.php in which you define the output (as well as its layout, style etc.) according to the current category – again, either depending on its ID or its slug.

   Here’s a short example using the ID:

   $category = get_the_category();
   $cat_ID = $category[0]->cat_ID;
   switch ($cat_ID) {
       case 'A':
           ...
           break;
       case 'B':
           ...
           break;
       default:
           ...
   }
