How to add php string that get category title in wordpress

Question

I just wanted to know how to apply php string when you want to get the title: ex.

 <h1 class="page-title"><?php single_cat_title(__('category:','themename')); ?></h1>

so if the title is "Video's", the button in the content will change to "Watch now" instead of "Read more" which is the default.

something like

if title is = "video's" {
echo "<button>Watch now</button>"
}<button>Readmore</button>

Answer 1

Simple PHP if/else

Here's the code which will work for you

if (single_cat_title("",false) == "video's") {
 echo "<button>Watch now</button>"
} else {
 echo "<button>Readmore</button>"
}

I am just assuming that title is actually titled video

Answer 2

Here is basic approach you can check video post by it's category id even with the category name. here is the example code.

$category_id = get_cat_ID('Category Name');
if( $category_id == 'your cat id'){
echo 'watch video';
{
else{
echo 'readmore';
}

Hope it helps. cheers!

Answer 3

You need false as second parameter to just return the value (not print). And then just compare it.

if (single_cat_title("", false) == "video's") {
    echo "Watch now";
} else {
    echo "Read more";
}
