In the code below, the echo at the top returns true, but the echo at the bottom returns
nothing. Apparently the code in between is causing me to lose a reference to the $_post variable?
<?php
echo "in category: ".in_category('is-sidebar', $_post); //RETURNS TRUE
if (!get_option('my_hide_recent'))
{
$cat=get_cat_ID('top-menu');
$catHidden=get_cat_ID('hidden');
$myquery = new WP_Query();
$myquery->query(array(
'cat' => "-$cat,-$catHidden",
'post_not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts')
));
$myrecentpostscount = $myquery->found_posts;
if ($myrecentpostscount > 0)
{ ?>
<div class="menu"><h4><?php if ($my_sidebar_heading_recent !=="") { echo $my_sidebar_heading_recent; } else { echo "Recent Posts";} ?></h4><ul>
<?php
global $post;
$current_page_recent = get_post( $current_page );
$myrecentposts = get_posts(array('post_not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'), 'cat' => "-$cat,-$catHidden",'showposts' => $my_recent_count));
foreach($myrecentposts as $idxrecent=>$post) {
if($post->ID == $current_page_recent->ID)
{
$home_menu_recent = ' class="current_page_item';
}
else
{
$home_menu_recent = ' class="page_item';
}
$myclassrecent = ($idxrecent == count($myrecentposts) - 1 ? $home_menu_recent.' last"' : $home_menu_recent.'"');
?>
<li<?php echo $myclassrecent ?>><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php
} ; if (($myrecentpostscount > $my_recent_count) && $my_recent_count > -1){ ?><li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/site-map">View all</a></li><?php } ?></ul></div>
<?php
}
}
global $sitemap;
echo "in category: ".in_category('is-sidebar', $_post); //RETURNS NOTHING
