Worked something out! Here’s the code I used via WordPress’s is_tax function:
add_filter( 'stylesheet_uri', 'my_stylesheet', 10, 2 );
function my_stylesheet( $stylesheet_uri, $stylesheet_dir_uri ) {
if ( is_tax( 'grades', array('term_name' => 'Kindergarten', 'First Grade', 'Second Grade', 'Third Grade', 'Fourth Grade', 'Fifth Grade' ) ))
$stylesheet_uri = $stylesheet_dir_uri . '/style-elemen.css';
elseif ( is_tax( 'grades', array('term_name' => 'Sixth Grade', 'Seventh Grade', 'Eighth Grade' ) ))
$stylesheet_uri = $stylesheet_dir_uri . '/style-elemen.css';
return $stylesheet_uri;
}
My client would like the background & header colors to switch depending on three subsets of the custom taxonomy ‘Grades’ (K+elementary, middle & high school)
I’ve registered and set up the custom taxonomy ‘grades’ but I can’t figure out how to load the different stylesheet depending on the taxonomy terms.
I found a great blogpost regarding contextually changing the stylesheet depending on the page name ( http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/07/27/contextually-changing-your-themes-stylesheet ). My php understanding is a bit limited and I can’t figure out how to call the custom taxonomy with an array of terms.
tl;dr – It looks like taxonomy_exists is what I should use but that only calls the custom taxonomy. I’d like to call the custom taxonomy ‘grades’ with an array of terms ‘kindergarten’ ‘first-grade’ ‘second-grade’ and such to trigger a change in the stylesheet.
