Use in_the_loop()
, it returns true if we are in the main loop, false if we are not, like on a custom query loop
Return: (bool) True if caller is within loop, false if loop hasn’t started or ended.
The difference between is_main_query()
and in_the_loop()
is that is_main_query()
uses WP_Query::is_main_query()
which in turn uses the global $wp_the_query
. $wp_is_query
stores the main query, that is why is_main_query()
always returns true inside the loop. You should also read this post
So, in short, you can do
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php if ( in_the_loop() ) {
// Do some staff
} else {
// Do other staff
} ?>
</article>
