Thanks for your feedback. So you have a sidebar that should be shown with specific categories, and new posts with those categories do not have that sidebar?
Can you assure that you do not have a cache plugin enabled and that these new posts are not part of another sidebar overruling the first sidebar?
Yep, no caching plugin is enabled. The problem is its intermittent, some post within the same category will show.
So, in the link below you can see, that the post is in the same category but…what I notice is happening is that, In stead of displaying the assigned sidebar, it is displaying the default sidebar that came with the theme.

So the sidebar should be the same as on http://carnivalinfo.com/2013/03/tribe-carnival-tuesdaytrinidad-carnival-2013/ right?
Just to be sure; you can confirm that the sidebar should be shown with posts with a specific category and not a specific tag?
Yep, thats correct. Its not set up for tags, just categories.
It is quite strange. Try to upgrade to version 1.3 and see if this solves the problem – nothing has really been changed in the rule/content handling though.
If it remains, you can use a plugin like Debug Queries and send me (jv[at]intox.dk) the queries for a post where the sidebar works and a similar post where it doesn’t.
Yep, You were right, although I believe the issue was a combination of Cache plugins, plus cloudflare, and clearing my database. After removing the old plugin. Clearing all and disabling cache addons, and disabling cloudflare. I Cleared old database entries, and optimized. Then installed the new plugin. Everything seems to be fine now. I’m gonna chuck this one up to user error. And outdated-ness.
