Question

I’m trying to restrict content to posts only from one category. In my loop.php I’m using the following code but with errors.

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() && cat=='1'); { ?>

Can someone please help

EDIT:

I’m trying to make use of else if statement in order to show excerpt if cat=1 and ignore rule if cat=161 or 158. here’s the code but I get a TELSEIF error

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() && $cat== '1') { ?>
                <?php the_content(); ?>
                <?php } else { ?>
                <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                <div class="restrict">
                Please Login/Register to read this article!
                </div>
                <?php } elseif (is_user_logged_in() && $cat== '158') { ?>
                <?php the_content(); ?>
                <?php } ?>

Not a PHP guy, but I think you must remove semicolon from the end of the line. Also, what is this cat, I think that this is somekind of a variable. If it is, then dollar sign is needed.

<?php if (is_user_logged_in() && $cat == '1') { ?>

EDIT:

<?php if (is_user_logged_in() && $cat == '1') { ?> 
<?php the_content(); ?> 
<?php } else { ?> 
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php } ?> 

Looking at your code you posted on the comment, you also missing ending brackets.
