    Hello,

    Apologies if this is documented somewhere, I have really hit a wall with a site I’m developing and my mind is a bit of a blank.

    In WordPress, outside the loop I can specify that certain things happen if the post is in a certain category. For example:

    if ( in_category('fruit') ) { ... }

    I know that Event Organiser uses tax and terms, but I cannot figure out how to write a conditional request for my events.

    I need my event category archives to show different hero images depending on which category archive is being viewed, and since there does not appear to be featured images for categories (I believe), I am trying to find a way around it.

    Please save my sanity and help me to write a conditional request for particular event categories (outside the loop).

    Thank you very, very much.

    has_term() is what you’re after (see codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/has_term ). The taxonomy for event categories is event-category.
