I have created a gallery that loops through some custom post types and a category. I am using <?php get_template_part ?> to call the gallery. However, the title is outside of the loop and I am only calling the gallery if there are any post within a certain category. But my title still shows up due to it being outside of the loop. Calling it inside the loop is obviously not an option. How can I work around this so the title will only show up if the category is true?
<h3>Gallery Title</h3>
<ul id="myid">
<?php
my loop
Defeat by php again.

<a href="<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($id, 'thumbnail'); ?>@fectio1 post your code on jsfiddle so I can see it properly. Sounds like an if-statement is needed here.
@ChristopherBurton I tried a few if statements, but was unsuccessful in calling it. My goal is to only get the
<
h3> title to show up if the category is true. Hopefully that makes sense.
I figured it out. I had to use term_exist. Here is an example of my code.
@fectio1 What does it output?
@fectio1 Oops. Just noticed you had solved it.
just as a follow-up, you need to use html entities when writing html tags:
<quote>hello!</quote>
will result in:
<quote>hello!</quote>
whereas
<quote>hello!</quote>
will result in:
hello!
