Hopefully, somebody can assist me. I am trying to target specific categories of certain CPT’s with Amazon ads. For example, I have an automotive section on the site with other sub-categories :

/automotive/GPS software
/automotive/telematics software
/automotive/self-driving cars

Im using this bit of code in widget logic:

geodir_get_current_posttype()==’gd_automotive’

Which works well for some widget use case, and the whole category…

Does anybody know what code would target just the specific sub-categories with widget logic?

Thanks.

Hello David,

Use following logic to do stuff on specific category.
CHANGE 57 to YOUR CATEGORY ID.
```
global $gd_post;
if ( ( geodir_is_page( 'listing' ) && is_tax() ) && ! empty( $gd_post ) && ! empty( $gd_post->default_category ) && (int) $gd_post->default_category == 57 ) {
	// Do stuff
}
```
