   I'm trying to make a condition that creates sidebar content if a specific category archive is being viewed OR if a post in that category is being viewed.

   I was thinking this would work but it's not:

   <?php
   $post = $wp_query->post;
   if ( in_category(19) || is_category(19) ) : ?>

   DO SOME STUFF

   <?php endif; ?>

   Any suggestions?

   Thanks,
   Sean

   Hello

   <?php if (is_category('19') || in_category('19')) { ?>
DO SOME STUFF
<?php } ?>

   That should work! :)

   <?php if ( !(in_category('29')) ) { ?>

   <?php } ?>

   Should exclude category 29.

   Interesting.
   Is there anything like an "AND" condition?

   I.e. if variable 1 AND variable 2 are true, then display content X
   else if variable 3 AND variable 4 are true, then display content Y?

   Thank you - it would be precious help!

   Paul, here is a solution:

   <?php
   
   if (is_category('xyz')) {
           Do something;
           }
   elseif (category('xyz2')) {
           Do something else ;
           }
   elseif (category('xyz3')) {
           Do something else;
   		}
   else {
           Do something if none of the above are true;
           }
   ?>

   - is_category can be replaced with any other conditional tag, ex: is_single('some single post') OR is_post('some post')

   Paul another option is

   <?php
   if ($1 == TRUE && $2 == TRUE) {

   echo "something";

   } elseif ($3 == TRUE && $4 == TRUE) {

   echo "something else";

   } else {

   echo "something completely different";

   }

   ?>
