[Resolved] Conditional if a specific category

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to create conditional HTML that tests a category ID. I am currently testing using the wpv-taxonomy-archive shortcode, but it is not working as expected.

Solution: The wpv-taxonomy-archive shortcode returns the term Title by default, not the term ID. However, your conditional is set up to test the term ID. So you should modify the shortcode to return the term ID instead of term title:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-taxonomy-archive info='id']' eq '2' )"]
<div class="color1 padding">
<h1>Annonsørinnhold</h1>
</div>
[/wpv-conditional]

Hello,

Trying to make a wpv-conditional for layouts for my articles.

When the category is equal to category id 2 there is a div that is going to be shown.

How do I solve this problem?

I have tried the following:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-taxonomy-archive]' eq '3' )"]
<div class="color1 padding">
<h1>Annonsørinnhold</h1>
</div>
[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-taxonomy-archive]' ne '1' )"]
<div class="color1 padding">
<h1>Annonsørinnhold</h1>
</div>

[/wpv-conditional]</p>
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-pager-archive-current-page]' eq '2' )"]
<div class="color1 padding">
<h1>Annonsørinnhold</h1>
</div>
[/wpv-conditional]

Any ideas?

Hi, the wpv-taxonomy-archive shortcode returns the term Title by default, not the term ID. However, your conditional is set up to test the term ID. So you should modify the shortcode to return the term ID instead of term title:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-taxonomy-archive info='id']' eq '2' )"]
<div class="color1 padding">
<h1>Annonsørinnhold</h1>
</div>
[/wpv-conditional]

Please refer to the documentation for this shortcode here for more information:
