    Hi there,

    I have created a new sidebar widget area in the widgets configuration page calles ‘news sidebar’ and I would like to show that only for articles that are in the ‘news’ category of posts. Where can I link this new menu to the category, I can’t seem to find where you link that?

    Regards,

    Marcel

    Hi Marcel!

    Please use this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/
    You can add following condition

    is_category('news')

    Hi there,

    I’ve installed it and I see what it does in the widget area, but do I understand correctly that there is only 1 ‘Sidebar Blog’ widget area to work with?
    Suppose I have 2 widgets I am showing in the sidebar area, A is above B and I want to reverse that for another category, so that B is above A

    Would I have to have 2xA and 2xB in the Sidebar area, and work with the conditions, right?

    I cannot make a new Sidebar widget using the ‘add widget area’ and make that somehow turn up in a certain category?

    thanks!

    Hi!

    Exactly!
    You can use conditions as following 

    is_category('news')
!is_category('news')

    First line is for the widgets you would like to display in your category and second one is everywhere else but your category

    Hmmm, it does work for category views, but it should work for articles that are INSIDE that category if you know what I mean?

    If you check this link, what i would like is to remove the INTERVIEWS section from the sidebar for all ‘Nieuws’ articles? :)

    Thank you for your help

    Hi,

    I’ve tried that , this is now in the widget logic field:

    !is_category(‘nieuws’) || !in_category(‘nieuws’)

    But as you can see on the link, the Interviews menu is still there?

    Hey!

    Do you mind creating a temporary admin login and posting it here privately so we can look into it?
