    Hello. I am using Simple Hooks to have certain icons appear next to the post title on posts in certain categories. My code, placed in the Before_Post_Title hook, works fine if the category is a single name, eg:

    if(in_category(fashion)) { ?>
    <p style=margin-top:0px></p>
    <?php }

    But I can't figure out how to name a category with more than one word, like so:
    if(in_category(this and that)) { ?>
    <p style=margin-top:0px></p>
    <?php }

    Do I need hypens, underscores, category ID, what? Probably a simple answer but nothing I have tried has worked. Site is here: http://www.thesimplyluxuriouslife.com

    Look at the source code of a category page and you can use the category id number. e.g.
    <body class="archive category category-fashion-forward category-8">
    The category for the above example would be 8, if there are several categories separate them with commas - 8,10, 15 etc
