Question

I am using this code in wordpress to display different content when different pages are loaded. I have 5 pages on the site called Home, Bio, Work, Contact and Notes. The Notes page is being used as a blog. Here is the code I am using.

                    <?php if (is_page('contact')) { ?>
                    get in touch with me
                <?php } elseif (is_single()) { ?>
                    a note from me
                <?php } elseif (is_page('notes')) { ?>
                    the notes of me
                <?php } else { ?>
                    the <?php the_title(); ?> of me
                <?php } ?>

So if it the contact page, it displays “get in touch with me” and if it is a single blog post page it displays “a note from me”. However this is where I have a problem. The next statement should display “the notes of me” when it is on the Notes page. However, this does not happen. Instead it shows the default content which is in the “else” statement. any idea on why this is happening?

This is what I would do instead.

            <?php if (is_page('contact')) { ?>
                get in touch with me
            <?php } elseif (is_page()) { ?>
                the <?php the_title(); ?> of me
            <?php } elseif (is_single()) { ?>
                a note from me
            <?php } else { ?>
                the notes of me
            <?php } ?>
