wordpress: how to check if the slug contains a spe

Question

I'm trying to use a conditional statement to check if either of two words (blog & news) appear in the slug. If one shows up I will display one menu, if the other then its corresponding menu shows.

Answer 1

slugContainsBlog = "blog"
if(window.location.href.indexOf(slugContainsBlog) > -1) {
   //Contains Blog
}

slugContainsNews = "news"
if(window.location.href.indexOf(slugContainsNews) > -1) {
   //Contains News
}

Here is a javascript version.

You can learn more about indexOf here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/indexOf

Answer 2

Using PHP:

$url = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

$isItBlog = strpos($url, 'blog');
$isItNews = strpos($url, 'news');

if ($isItBlog!==false)
{
    //url contains 'blog'
}
if ($isItNews!==false)
{
    //url contains 'news'
}
