I have a Press category on my blog that I have built a ‘Press Sidebar’ for. It works great on the Press page but not on the individual post pages within the press category.

I am trying this code in sidebar.php but it’s not working:
```
if (in_category(Press)) {
    dynamic_sidebar('Press Sidebar');
    $default_sidebar = false;
}
```
It just keeps showing the default sidebar.

I am stumbling. If someone can help here I would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Josue thanks so much for the response.

I’ve already considered that plugin as an option – a good option I’ve used on other projects.

Trying to keep this site as plugin free as possible. I’ve already got it working with the above code I just stripped all the widgets out of the ‘Sidebar Blog’ and if I need widgets in the regular Blog category I’ll just treat it the same way as above since luckily all the post are already in a Blog category. So create a custom dynamic category for in_category Blog and go that route.

I guess my situation is unique with all blog posts already in a blog category. So in that case we can mark this complete.

Thanks!
