 * Hi all, I am smashing my head against some code.
    Here is the situation: I have
   one post in 3 different categories, this post has to be visible in “category 
   1” with the single1.php, in “category 2” with single2.php and in “category 3”
   with single3.php.
 * Obviously the 3 single.php page have a different template inside.
    For example
   the single1.php shows pictures and the_content(); single2.php shows pictures 
   and comments; single3.php shows the reviews.
 * I know that in single.php I can use the if/else but I cannot figure out if the
   same post is in 3 different categories.
 * Any help please?

       <?php
       if ( in_category( array ('1', '2' ) ) ) {
       	include 'single-1.php';
       } elseif ( in_category( array ('3','4','5') ) ) {
       	include 'single-2.php';
       } else {
       	include 'single-3.php';
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Copy this to the single.php and replace all the code in the single.php
