to create own conditional tags for business directory in wp

2 comments

1. you can use has_term to check if a post as a term which that is what “business directory categories” are (custom taxonomy terms).
   something like:

   if (has_term( $term, $taxonomy, $post_id )){
   //do your thing
   }
   

   if you want to check if you are in a specific term ( like is_category) you can use is_tax

   if (is_tax( $taxonomy, $term )){
   //do stuff
   }
   

   if you want to check if your object (post) is in a specific term ( like in_category) you can use is_object_in_term()

   if (is_object_in_term( $object_id, $taxonomy, $terms) ){
   //do stuff
   }

2. I’m not sure what your “business directory” categories are. Are you using a specific plugin to create this business directory?

   Taking a stab in the dark, you’ve got two options. If these categories are the same categories under the “Posts” taxonomy, then you could use this:

   is_category('my-business-category');
   

   If, however, your using a special plugin that adds its own custom taxonomy (meaning you aren’t using the “posts” but you have a “directory” section in WP-admin, and you want to check if that is what the user is looking at, you would have to use something like this:

   Put this in your functions.php:

   function is_post_type($type){
       global $wp_query;
       if($type == get_post_type($wp_query->post->ID)) return true;
       return false;
   }
   

   and the you can use this to find the custom post type:

   is_post_type('business_post_type')
   

   Which I originally found here:

   If is custom post type

   Hope this helps!
