Style post archive blog preview based on category
Question
I have a page showing your typical series of small post teasers - images, excerpt etc which advertise properties for lease.
I would like to have the ability to add a 'new' or 'featured' icon based on its corresponding 'new' or 'featured' category or tag - either will do.
I have added these categories but they do not appear in the code when output and so I cannot target them.
How would I be able to perform the action:
If a post thumbnail has category of 'new' add the class 'new' so I can then target and style - repeating for each category.
I found this which I think is similar but does not work
There will be multiple categories displaying on the archive page, but I want to style only the previews that have a certain category - I do not want to style the individual post page.
Unfortunately my php skills are limited
Thanks
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category('new', $post->ID) ) { ?>
<body <?php body_class('new'); ?>>
<?php
}
elseif ( in_category('featured', $post->ID) ) { ?>
<body <?php body_class('featured'); ?>>
<?php
}
else { ?>
<body <?php body_class('class-name-generic'); ?>>
<?php
}
?>

here you go get_the_category($post->ID); will return the array of categories of that post you need to loop through the array
$category_detail=get_the_category('4');//$post->ID
foreach($category_detail as $cd){
echo $cd->cat_name;
}
