Header with Category IF Statement?

After quite a bit of research, community breaking, and hair pulling I've determined that created a separate header for a sub-community in my larger community domain just isn't going to work. I won't ...

    Hey Jillian,

     

    Sorry, rather than use category.id, you should try using coreNode.id, e.g. something like

    <#if coreNode.id == "Instructor">
<div class='VIC_community_logo'>
    <a href="/t5/custom/page/page-id/VIC" class="VICcommunityLogo" title="Virtual Instructor Community">Virtual Instructor Community</a>
  <span class="tagline">Looking at life through tax.</span>
</div>

<#else>
<div class='hrb_community_logo'>
      <a href="/" class="communityLogo" title="The Community">The Community</a>
  <span class="tagline">Looking at life through tax.</span>
</div>

</#if>

Hmm. Looks awesome and makes sense to me. Any idea why it would be throwing this as a response though? I did change the category to match mine (Instructor). I know "Instructor" definitely exists.

 

FreeMarker template error

The following has evaluated to null or missing:
==> category  [in template "preview" at line 3, column 6]

Tip: If the failing expression is known to be legally null/missing, either specify a default value with myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use <#if myOptionalVar??>when-present<#else>when-missing</#if>. (These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthessis: (myOptionVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionVar.foo)??

The failing instruction (FTL stack trace):
----------
==> #if category.id == "Instructor"  [in template "preview" at line 3, column 1]

 

Thank you!
