 * I’m trying to target the body_class from within a specific php template file.
 * Essentially, each page within the site has its own unique body class, and I’m
   trying to add into the php template file (not the functions file) some code to
   add some additional code (a slider) if the body_class matches and is left empty
   if it doesn’t match.
 * Something like:
 * <?php if ( body_class(‘term-business-practices-and-policies’) ) {?>
    // add slider
   code here <?php } ?>
 * There will actually be 4 or 5 specific instances I need to target, each with 
   different code (image)
 * Any ideas?

 * try and work with `get_body_class()` [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_body_class](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_body_class)
 * example (untested):
 *     ```
       <?php if ( in_array( 'term-business-practices-and-policies', get_body_class() ) ) {?>
       // add slider code here
       <?php } ?>
       ```

   do.
