Here’s a plugin that might possibly work

I haven’t tried it yet, so I can’t tell you for sure if it will fit your needs.
There’s also a plugin called Page Sidebars, but as the name suggests, it’s page related.

thats not really what im looking for but thanks anyway gestroud. I wanna do this without a plugin, this post seems promising but I still don’t get it unfortunately.
Do you have a special personal function defined in your WP like this:
php get_sidebar80()
Otherwise that will not work. To include files that are not defined in the WP core files you should use:
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar80.php'); ?>
And read again that Conditional page… there is in_category and there is is_category.
HI,
try put this code in your category template where you want the side bar:
<?php
if ( (is_category('80')) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar80.php');
} elseif ( (is_category('81')) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar81.php');
} else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar.php');
}
?>
you can add as much elseif you want.
hope this helps to you.
nair, that does NOT address the OP’s request:
Now I would like to display sidebar80 for when a single post is displayed that falls under category 80.
ops, you are right! i miss the single page request!!! i’m going to correct the code!
code to put in the single page where you want the sidebar:
<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( (in_category('80')) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar80.php');
} elseif ( (in_category('81')) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar81.php');
} else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar.php');
}
?>
well this is working for me…
Hi Nair, followed your instructions and I am receiving this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /home/website/public_html/temp/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/single.php on line 5
What did I missed? Thanks
How should we know what is on line 5 in your theme?
If you want an answer paste your single.php to http://wordpress.pastebin.ca
Hi, sorry. here it is:
1 <?php get_header(); ?>
2
3 <?php
4 $post = $wp_query->post;
5 if ( (in_category(‘8’)) {
and the whole template for single.php is here:
http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/921904
Thanks a lot
Should be:
if (in_category('8'))
– only one bracket between if and in!
absolutely wonderful. Am now deep into using Conditionals now as a result. As with most stuff I learned with WordPress (or php / mysql for that matter), all I needed was a working example to get started making my own stuff.
Thank you so much.
Thanks a lot moshu, its working now.
