   I want to show certain content in my sidebar for certain URLs.

   The following example is for using an include for the homepage, but I can't get it to work in WordPress:

   <!-- begin homepage ads -->
       <?php
           $homepage = "/";
           $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
           if($homepage==$currentpage) {
           include('homepage-ads.php');
           }
       ?>
       <!-- end homepage ads -->

   How would I get it to include a .php file if it's NOT the homepage?

   Can I set a string of commands, in layman's terms:

   if is: /page1 , include page1_ads.php
   if is: /green-page , include green-page_ads.php
   if is: /another-page , include another-page_ads.php

   Here you are:

   <?php if (is_page('1')) { include("page1_ads.php"); }
   
   elseif (is_page('green-page')) { include("green-page-ads.php"); }
   
   elseif (is_page('another-page')) { include("another-page-ads.php"); }
   
   else { include("everything-else.php"); 
   
   } ?>

   The final else statement isn't necessary, though can be handy as a fallback.

   The code above assumes that the ad pages are placed in your theme folder, or wherever the sidebar file is.
