Thank you for your kind words.
When you added the category, did you do so in another condition group, or the same group as the posts?
The difference is that if you add it to the same group, the logic will be evaluated as:
if content is posts A, B or C and in category D
(this is never satisfied unless post A, B or C actually contains category D)
Adding it to a different group will be evaluated as:
if content is posts A, B or C or in category D.
Let me know if this solves your problem.
YES!
The problem – and solution – was just that. The first “condition group” as you call it, had both the POSTS and the CATEGORY. By removing the category, then adding it in further below in a separate condition group, it works fine.
That whole grouping scheme is a bit confusing. MAINLY because inside a single Condition Group, there appears to be the opportunity to mix types – since it offers a “Select Content” drop-down box ongoing (below the “AND” bar). Truthfully, I wondered why there were multiple boxes on the screen… and now I know. Glad you are so VERY responsive here Joachim. Prost!
Great that it worked!
I continuously try to make the UX better and I know there is room for improvements. If you have any suggestions on how to make it clearer, let me know.
The reason you work in groups is that you are able to target contexts. E.g. if you for one group add:
All Posts and Author X
The sidebar will be displayed on all posts written by that author.
You could also add category Y to the same group.
The sidebar will then be displayed on all posts with category Y written by author X.
If you then negate that group, the sidebar will be displayed on all content but those posts.
If you run into more problems, do not hesitate to open a new support thread here. And if you like Content Aware Sidebars, please leave a review here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/view/plugin-reviews/content-aware-sidebars
Thanks Joachim, the need for the Groups is apparent (and useful). If if there’s anything lacking… it’s maybe that something could be said about that on-page. (documentation is perhaps too much to ask, for a free plugin… 🙂
