Check if current Download is in a specific category

So I'm working with the sinlge-download.php page and I'm trying to check if the specific product is in a specific category. Here is what I tried but I only get the ELSE result even if the download is a book.

if( in_category( 'Books' ) ) {
    echo 'This product is a book';
   } else {
    echo 'This product is not a book';
   }
Solution

  • According to EDD docs, the category is: download_category Easy Digital Download Docs

    For this... use function has_term since in_category refers to WordPress post type posts and not for custom post types like the downloads.

    if( has_term( 'Books', 'download_category' ) ) {
    echo 'This product is a book';
} else {
    echo 'This product is not a book';
}
