   Hello,
   I have a problem.

   I have a sidebar. In this sidebar I would like to show something just when a single post is displayed.

   The code I'm using is:

   <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?>
        <p>Show this just when a single post is displayed</p>
   <?php } ?>

   but it doesn't work.

   When I try with:

   <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>
        <p>Show this just in the home page</p>
   <?php } ?>

   It shows the sentence everywhere, both in home and in the single post.

   What can I do? Thank you!!!

   What's the full text of sidebar.php (or wherever you're placing this snippet)? You'll probably need to use Pastebin if it's long.

   Can you share a link to the site? Have you tried disabling plugins to see if it's caused by a plugin? What theme are you using? (It doesn't appear to have a widget-ready sidebar, which seems odd.)

   you have probably some code running before the sidebar - somewhere in the templates (could be from a plugin ?) - which modifies the original query string;

   possibly try to add <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> bofore your code.

   It works. I have just added <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> before the code.

   If you want to have a look to the website, the url is: http://www.halcyon-hills.co.uk . The theme has been made by me and the designer of the company.

   Thank you for everything!

   Byeeeee!

   the wp_reset_query(); should be added just after your custom query in the sidebar; into line 12 of the pastebin code.

   quoted from that link:

   If you must use query_posts(), make sure you call wp_reset_query() after you're done.
