change header for taxonomy event pages

[Avi Rosenberg]

Hi
Thanks for a very nice plugin. I have a question. I am trying to change my site header for the taxonomy event pages. Is there a way to do this by identifying those pages inside the header.php file and making my changes there or should I just create a separate header.php file for those pages?
Thanks,
Avi Rosenberg

Hi Avi,

Yes in your header you can use is_tax() (see Codex), e.g.

   if( is_tax( 'event-category' ) ){
       //Event category
   }elseif( is_tax( 'event-venue' ) ){
       //Event venue
    }elseif( is_tax( 'event-tag' ) ){
       //Event tag
   }

Hi Stephen
Thanks for your reply.
I tried that and for some reason it doesn’t return anything (returns “none”).

if( is_tax( 'event-category' ) ){
echo "event-category";
}elseif( is_tax( 'event-venue' ) ){
echo "event-venue";
}elseif( is_tax( 'event-tag' ) ){
echo "event-tag";
} else {
echo "none";
}

In the end, I used $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] and extracted “/events/” from the path and used that.
I have another question about the widget calendar, but I will open another thread.
