I'm working on a Wordpress site I didn't create. The developer is using the content-single.php page for other pieces of content on the site. Now the client wants a blog, but I can't use content-single php.
Unfortunately Wordpress references content-single.php for single pages on the blog, but these need a different format. Can I use an if/else statement? I'm not a PHP developer, but am trying this fix:
<?php if ( is_category('7') ) {
?>
<p>Thanks so much for your help!</p>
<?php } else { ?>
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<div class="container">
<?php if (get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, 'full')) { ?>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4 col-xs-12 landing-col">
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, 'full'); ?>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-8 col-xs-12">
<?php } ?>
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="entry-meta">

<div class="entry-content">

<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'superhero' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>

<?php } ?>
Technically, category 7 (the blog) should have "Thanks so much for your help" while the rest of the pages output the original code. But that's not happening. Category 7 is still outputting the old code.
I appreciate any help on this, seriously.
