    Hi! I want to check if an event is in a particular category – in this case, “VJFF”, which is category #22. But I can’t get it to work…

    I’m currently trying this, in single-event.php :

    if (is_tax( 'event-category', 22) ) {
    echo 'stuff';
    }

    But I’m clearly guessing (and wrongly) as to how I specify it… as it is not echoing my custom “stuff” even when the post is in the VJFF category. Can you advise? Thanks!

    Hi Adam,

    The is_* functions refer to the page. Instead you want to use has_term()

    has_term( "VJFF", "event-category").

    Depending on context you may have to pass in the event object as the third argument.

    Thanks for this Stephen! I’ll let you know if I run into any further issues.
