Display content at archive page help please

[wparrow]

Hi,
I am using Pods plugin to extend the content for archive page. I used the code below and insert to Simple Hooks at "genesis_after_loop" position.

<div class="entry"><?php if (is_category()) {
echo  do_shortcode('[pods name="category"]{@extra_content_for_category}[/pods]');
}
?></div>

The output is good but the problem is, the all extra content display at ALL categories.

The correct is: Extra content of category A only display at bottom of category A (for example).

I guest must have some condition of the code above to make it working correct with simple hooks

Please help!
Thanks

Try conditional tags

Can't test this without installing Pods however this should work:

add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'print_pods' );

function print_pods() {

if ( is_category('a')) {
echo  do_shortcode('[pods name="category"]{@extra_content_for_category}[/pods]');

    }

}

Where 1 is the i.d for your category. You can also use the category slug like this:

add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'print_pods' );

function print_pods() {

if ( is_category('news')) {
echo  do_shortcode('[pods name="category"]{@extra_content_for_category}[/pods]');

    }

}

Where news is the category slug

Thanks Brad for answer, after I paid and join into your site.

However, I want it dynamic works for all categories, not just one specific category.

Could you help?

Thanks

Change the conditional tag to

is_category()

Note : I advise you not to use the Pods plugin as its not needed. If you want to use a plugin try ACF instead.

I used is_category() and it does not work, all Pods content display at all categories.

Pods support very good by Jim and other authors. You can access via the Pods's forum on WordPress.org if needed.

Thanks for your advice. I will try to use ACF now, never try before, hope it's easy

Based on what you stated?

However, I want it dynamic works for all categories, not just one specific category.

Please help create a sample on the given site as I gave you on FB chat. So, I can see how to do from your sample works.

If it's easy and can do the job, we will replace Pods plugin by ACF

Thanks
