can any one help me or translate what I want in php: I need php code like that: If child categories posts from the parent category number (1) {
will include templatepath'/single-Arabic.php
} else if child categories posts from the parent category number (2) {
will include templatepath'/single-English.php
} best regards
It's better to check for category name rather than category ID. So lets say you have two categories, "fruit" and "meat", then in your single.php just after the get_header(); call, add these lines:
if(has_term('fruit', 'category', $post)) get_template_part('single', 'fruit');
else if(has_term('meat', 'category', $post)) get_template_part('single', 'meat');
// else...
This will work if you've created the files single-fruit.php and single-meat.php
More here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part
here is the function to get top parent category.
let suppose you have category
1 . English
-- sub 1 English category
-- sub 2 English category2 . Arabic
-- sub 1 Arabic category
-- sub 2 Arabic category
and you are on the post page where it say current category sub 2 English then you call function
$Parent = strtolower(get_top_category());
it will return top category name which is English, after that condition will check if category is English then include 'single-English.php'
vice versa for Arabic.
function get_top_category() {
$category = get_the_category();
$cat_tree = get_category_parents($category[0]->term_id, FALSE, ':', TRUE);
$top_cat = split(':',$cat_tree);
return $parent = $top_cat[0];
}
echo '<pre>';print_r(get_top_category());echo '</pre>';
$Parent = strtolower(get_top_category());
if($Parent == "english") {
include 'templatepath/single-English.php';
}
else if($Parent == "arabic") {
include 'templatepath/single-Arabic.php';
}
