imike12706Hello all,
I have a problem. Visit my site Gadgetsteria. Now click on one of the pages at the top and notice how in the side bar it repeats what is posted on that page....why? I have the side bar coded so that the 3 tabs (Featured, reviews, and how-to's) display 5 random posts from each respective category. It works fine on the homepage and in individual posts but not on different pages. Here is the code for the sidebar.
*edit*
ok now I just realized it does it on the home page too. It was workign on the home page earlier.
<div id="sidebar">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/ads.php'); ?>
<div class="box">
