wordpress: different menus for different categories? - GoFuckYourself.com

can you do different menu content for different categories pages on the blog?

Should be pretty easy to code in php, but unfortunately I don't know any plugin around doing this...someone got some code for this ready ?

Outside LOOP...

Code:

<?php
 $post = $wp_query->post;
 if ( in_category('2') ) {
// do something if they are in category 2
 } else {
 // show regular menu, or remove this else
 }
 ?>

So what you could do is insert the above code above your regular menu and either include your regular menu in this if statement or do something like:

Code:

<?php

// required for outside of post
 $post = $wp_query->post;

// if the current post is in category 2 
 if ( in_category('2') ) {

// do something if they are in category 2

 } else { ?>

this is my regular menu HTML.<br />
<ul>
<li>Menu Item</li>
<li>Menu Item</li>
<li>Menu Item</li>
</ul>

 <?php } ?>

Let me know if you need some help.
