Using different wordpress loop output depending on category
I am trying to create a somewhat advanced wordpress loop for a new website. I would like to display all recent posts on the front page, but differently depending on chosen category.
I am thinking something like this:
Start Loop
Check if category = category 1
If category = category 1:
<-- Loop elements for said category (template tags etc.) -->
Else, check if category = category 2
If category = category 2
<-- Loop elements for said category (template tags etc.) -->
Else
<-- Standard loop elements (template tags etc.) -->
End loop
Is this possible? Are there simpler ways to do this? I realize i could use multiple loops, but would like to keep the posts in chronological order.
I tried using the following code, but this breaks when i put the template tags in the echo?
<?php
$category_name = 'Categ开发者_JAVA技巧ory 1';
if(in_category($category_name)) {
echo '
<div class="post">
the_title();
the_excerpt();
<div>
';
}
?>
Any help much appreciated :)
Try
<?php
$category_name = 'Category 1';
if(in_category($category_name)) {
?>
<div class="post">
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<div>
<?php
}
?>
