   Hi

   I have 3 different post categories that I'm using to filter information on a site that I'm building: project, news and events.

   I need to display the single post differently for each type of category with different things in the sidebar. Up until now I've been using the single post template plugin which works great but I was wondering whether there's a way to use a conditional if (is_category('n')) in the single.php somehow so that I don't have to write a different template for each and more importantly my client doesn't have to assign a template to their posts each time they write one.

   please read the codex:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_category

   you might want to use:

   in_category() http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category

   Yes I'm well aware of the codex as I've been developing WordPress sites for many years. I just need to know if there's a way around this

   I'll try in_categiry though as this might work
