   So I'm trying to develop a sidebar for a page template, and I'd like to inject different content depending on which page I am on.
   For that reason, I'd like to know what command and what identifier I use to write the if/then statement for WordPress.

   I.e:

   <?php
   if ((thispageis == 'pageidentifier') {
   ?> iinclude_page(4); <?
   }else{
   if ((thispageis2 == 'pageidentifier2') {
   ?> iinclude_page(5);
   }
   ?>

   I am using the Improved Include page plugin that outlines the function of iinclude_page();

   Does anyone know how I'd go about this? Is there a page identifier already defined by WordPress that I can just determine those values and put them in after I've created said pages?

   Thanks

   hi

   I'm not familiar with that plugin. Here is the usual way it is done in WP. Where I've indicated page-slug, substitute the name of the page's slug.

   <?php
   if ((is_page('about')) {
     iinclude_page(4);
   } elseif ((is_page'events')) {
     iinclude_page(5);
   }
   ?>

   for your blog page, instead of is_page('blog') use is_home()
   and for the top page (home page) use is_front_page(). ( That assumes you have set a static front page and a posts page in the Settings / Reading settings in the admin area. )
