Hi John

Thanks for getting back to me. I have tried to implement your suggestion but seem to be missing something – I am newish to php so my skills are improving daily but clearly not good enough to identify the problem.

I implemented this off the back of your suggestion –

<?php

$hb1 = in_category( 
           array('News','Features','Tech'), 
           $this->post->ID 
);

$hb2 = in_category( array('Research'), $this->post->ID );
$hb3 = has_tag( 
         array( 'aged care', 'anxiety/stress', 'autism', 'cognitive', 'Dementia', "Parkinson's", 'sleep' , 'well-being' ), 
         $this->post->ID
);

$link = get_field('media_outlet_url', $this->post->ID);

if ( $hb1 )
{
 ?>
    <a href="<php echo $link; ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_field('media_outlet',$this->post->ID); ?</a>
   
<?php

   the_field('published_date',   $this->post->ID);
   the_field('country',   $this->post->ID);
}

else if ( $hb2 && $hb3 )

{
   the_field('media_outlet',   $this->post->ID);
   the_field('published_date', $this->post->ID);
   the_field('country',   $this->post->ID);
  
}
?>

But get an error.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Best
