Thanks. Yes I already installed Widget Logic, but the problem is that it can do that only via .php tweaks in WP .php pages, I’m looking for a simple plug-in that doesn’t requires any coding knowledge, I’m not a programmer… Thanks.

I don’t understand your problem…
Doesn’t this conditional tags address your issue?
http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_Category_Page
I tried the following as per what the author of Widget Logic says:
is_category(X) || (is_single() && in_category(X))
This should make the widget work on the category page and within each post that belongs to that category.
I tried it. Widget works on the category page, Widget will not show up on any post under this category…
My problem is – how can I see a widget inside all posts that belong to a specific category?
Thanks.

Pasta78, you say you tried is_category(X) || (is_single() && in_category(X)), I suppose you didn’t use X instead of 'category-id' or 'category-slug' or even 'Category Name'
no…I didn’t use X, I used something like:
is_category(‘dog-training’) || (is_single() && in_category(‘dog-training’))
Where ‘dog-training’ is category.
This supposed to work in all the posts of ‘dog-training’ but it only works in ‘dog-training’ main category page.
try this one:
in_category( ‘dog-training’ ) || post_is_in_descendant_category( ‘dog-training’ )
Doesn’t work…crashes WP with an error!
Yes, doesn’t work either…
Won’t display the Widget inside posts.
sorry, looks like the Documentation points to a function that doesn’t exist… post_is_in_descendant_category
I’ve searched for it in the core code and couldn’t find it…
but you can create your own as shown in this post

trying to understand the goal here, looks like you need widgets in posts, and different widgets in different posts?
Two easy to use plugins come to mind, both with no php tags or values to fill. Dynamic Widgets and Widgets on Pages. Dynamic widgets will give you category based text widgets, Widgets on Pages uses shortcode to display widgets in pages and posts.
Dynamic widgets won’t work on posts…
Widgets on Pages is no different than Widget Loigic…
I don’t understand how such trivial feature in WP isn’t available, I’m sure I’m not the only one who needs to display ads on posts that belong to specific category.
