Hi, what I have are 3 post categories with their respective category slugs: “blog”, “news”, and “press”. I have then created 3 pages that represent these categories and placed the Build Element “blog post” and selected the corresponding category to show.
I have created a separate Sidebar for each page/category and in each of these sidebars I need to show their respective Archive list.
After much research it “appears” I need the plugin called ‘Widget Logic’. I would assume what i do is place the Archive widget into the News sidebar (for example) and in the widget logic box type: is_category(‘news’) ….but this does nothing. In fact it shows up as blank.Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hey Slade!
Try placing the widgets in the Displayed Everywhere area and make sure to turn on Sidebar for Archive pages (Sidebar settings > Sidebar on Archive Pages).

I don’t think that will work the way I need. Each category has it’s own page (In the News, Press Releases, Blog). Each page needs to have 1 Archive widget that only shows the Archive for it’s particular page.
Does that make sense?
Ok, in that case you could use is_page and use the ID of those Pages as parameter respectively:

JosueIf I used is_page how would that know which Category was used for that particular page? I am using the “blog post” builder element and select to show the category either News, Press, or Blog depending on the page. I would assume I need something like is_category(“news”) but when I place that inside the Archive widget >> Widget Logic input box…nothing shows up on the News page. It is blank where that widget should be.
Hm, i’m not sure if i understand what you’re trying to achieve here but i guess what you need is a category-specific Archive-widget, maybe this plugin could work:
