 * Hi
 * I have got a text box widget in my primary sidebar which I would only like to
   appear in the category of Training and it’s sub category Training Diary, I have
   used the code is_category(array(‘Training’, ‘diary’)) which does most of what
   I want, but if I click on the individual post within that category it doesn’t
   appear (I hope that makes sense), is it possible?
 * Many thanks
 * James

 * This does what I want, but also makes it appear on my home page which I don’t
   want.

 * it is getting a bit complex:
    try:
 * `is_category('Training', 'diary') || is_single() && in_category('Training', '
   diary')`
 * that should avoid the frontpage issue

 * It is now working with in_category(array(‘Training’, ‘diary’)) as there is now
   a tick box that says “Don’t display in homepage”, I didn’t see this before.
