Conditional Statement for Multiple Page Templates? | ww.wp.xz.cn

In Widget-Logic, I can use a conditional statement for a particular widget to display if it is not a given page template. Example:
!is_page_template('pagetemplate-this.php')

However, it doesn’t seem to work if I specify multiple templates. Example:
!is_page_template( array('pagetemplate-this.php','pagetemplate-that.php','pagetemplate-other.php'))

What am I doing wrong?

thanks,
Mike

is_page_template() does not take an array as argument.

try:

!is_page_template('pagetemplate-this.php') && !is_page_template('pagetemplate-that.php') && !is_page_template('pagetemplate-other.php')

Awesome, that worked! I had read somewhere to put double-pipe charachers *||* where you have the ampersands. That did not work, but the ampersands did! THANK YOU!

check up general on BOOLEAN ALGEBRA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_algebra_(logic)

|| stands for OR and you can’t by logic not combine negated results this way.

&& stands for AND which in your case makes sure that all three nagated conditions have to be met at the same time.

I guess I should have looked in the “Other Notes”. In case it helps someone else, good explanations here: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/widget-logic/other_notes/
