   Under 'News' category I have modified the sidebar so that it only shows posts under this category. Great.

   Problem: When I click on a news article it brings me to its single page but the sidebar changes.

   How do I display category-related posts in the the Single Template (single.php)?

   Is it possible to do something like the following in the single template?

   if is_category 'news' -> my_news_sidebar.php
   else -> sidebar.php

   I've searched in Google and looked in the documentation to no avail. For some reason I can't get this apparently easy thing to work. Thanks in advanced.

   My Post Templates by Category plugin may be useful here:

   With it you can set up a separate template based on your single.php but for posts in that specific category (i.e. with the my_news_sidebar.php included in it).
