   I have several templates pages(- each displaying posts from one different category) also each with a unique sidebar.

   BUT when each single post is displayed, the sidebar changes to defult. I want to be able to display each post with the sidebar category, page template it belongs to.

   Any pointer are welcome. Please Help.

   You have to register each new sidebar in your function.php file. Is it done ?

   I don't think, so the system takes the default one.

   This can help you :
   This is a part of my function.php file

   /*
   #######################################
   Déclaration des sidebars et boites de Widgets WordPress
   #######################################
   */
   
   // Sidebar #1 par défaut
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
       register_sidebar();
   
   // Sidebar #2 (single.php)
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
   register_sidebar(array(
   'name' => 'Sidebar2 - single.php',
   'before_widget' => '<div id="sidebar"><ul><li>',
   'after_widget' => '</li></ul></div>',
   'before_title' => '<h2>',
   'after_title' => '</h2>',
   ));
   
   // Sidebar #3 (category.php et tag.php)
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
   register_sidebar(array(
   'name' => 'Sidebar3 - category.php et tag.php',
   'before_widget' => '<div id="sidebar"><ul><li>',
   'after_widget' => '</li></ul></div>',
   'before_title' => '<h2>',
   'after_title' => '</h2>',
   ));

   Although I do have each unique sidebar registered. BUT ... My template file has edited "Category" "recent Post" for each template file. Which are outside the dynamic widget bit. Hand coded.

   I am calling separate files like sidebar-topic, sidebar-translation etc.

   Solved it my self:

   because the category was unique to each template so added this conditional code in the single post file.

   <?php

   if ( in_category('translations') ) :
   get_sidebar('translations');
   elseif ( is_404() ) :
   get_sidebar('404');
   else :
   get_sidebar();
   endif;
   ?>
