I am trying to add a different sidebar element for EE events based on the category the event is tagged with. get_post_type() == ‘espresso_events’ works to display the sidebar on all single event pages, but get_post_type() == ‘espresso_events’ && is_category(‘shows’) does not display the sidebar on single events tagged with the Show category. How can I get this to work?

Hi Sydney,
It turns out that is_category() checks for if it’s a regular WordPress category archive page. When you check for a category or a custom taxonomy like espresso_event_category on a post, you can use
has_term().
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/has_term
So for your example, you input
has_term( 'shows', 'espresso_event_categories' )
or if you only want the widget on single events (not displayed on a event category archive) :
is_singular() && has_term( 'shows',
'espresso_event_categories' )
