# Conditional Content (feature request)

 * I run a site where the total number of sidebars is a pain. We have 23 countries
   that participate in our program and each has a profile page. On that profile 
   page there is a sidebar with links to posts about that country. This necessitates
   23 different sidebars, which is… aggravating.
 * Would it be possible in your plugin to add a third tab under “Get Posts From”
   for “Dynamic from Page/Post?”
 * It could have the same choices as taxonomies and tags, except rather than setting
   the Category or Tag to display manually, it would pull it from whatever page/
   post it is on. In categories, you might even be able to give a choice of “current
   categories”, “parents” or “grandparents” to accommodate what DaveE was trying
   to do: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-show-only-posts-that-share-the-currently-viewed-page-taxonomy?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-show-only-posts-that-share-the-currently-viewed-page-taxonomy?replies=2)
 * This would be hugely useful functionality to me, and I’d be willing to bet that
   there are others out there who would find it useful.

 * Hi Matt,
 * Thanks for your inquiry. I think you’d best be served by the same answer I provided
   in the [link](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-show-only-posts-that-share-the-currently-viewed-page-taxonomy?replies=2)
   you mentioned (DaveE is me after all.)
 * I don’t foresee creating that kind of functionality within FPW but you’d be welcome
   to fork the plugin and add that functionality yourself. There are many different
   scenarios that such functionality would need to accommodate and to me it feels
   like more of a separate widget/plugin that the post type & tax/term functionality
   provided by FPW.
 * Sorry I can’t be of more help on this one.
