   Dear WordPressers,

   I have a very simple request. It is exactly the same question posed in this thread, but it remains unanswered. It is probably a novice mistake - but any insight is welcome!

   Basically I want my sidebar to display an index archive of posts (as links). I managed to do this by copying the code from the archive page to the sidebar. Now the problem is that when I click on a post it displays the post on a single.php page correctly but the sidebar also displays that single post.
   I would want the sidebar to stay static, so it should keep on displaying the archive index as a whole. Additionally I want the post which is active to be highlighted in the sidebar - that would be awesomeness ofcourse : )!

   But first things first. Here is my code, what am I doing wrong?

   [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

   Thanks so much for your initial help!

   I managed to solve the problem with the template tag get_posts which succesfully renders an archive list of all posts. And it is customizable with simple tags. Perfect!
   Here is the code:
   

   <?php
   $args = array( 'numberposts' => 100, 'orderby'=> 'post_date');
   $postslist = get_posts( $args );
   foreach ($postslist as $post) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>
   	<div>
   		<?php the_date(); ?>
   		<br />
   		<?php the_title(); ?>
   		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   		<?php the_category(' '); ?>
   	</div>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
