   Hi there,

   I have searched all through the forums and the web in general but am really struggling to find the solution to my problem...

   I basically want a widget to show up in the posts for one certain category ( or on all single posts; it doesn't matter as I only have sidebars for posts in on one category), AND ALSO to suppress this widget for a certain post AND to supress it for my category archive page (which being the only one, is all of archive pages)

   so basically i want to combine in_category('Y') with !is_single('X') with !is_archive()

   or (as the only single posts with sidebars are in one category) then I guess - is_single() with !is_single('X') with !is_archive() - should also work.

   HOWEVER i can't do it! I have tried playing around with || and && but with no luck.

   I tried experimenting with more complete PHP using elseif, but i don't know PHP at all, and couldnt get it to work.

   Any ideas how I can make this happen?

   Thank you!

   well after more experimenting I managed to get the affect i want by just using supression commands:

   !is_single('529') && !is_home() && !is_archive() && !is_page( 'Resources' ) && !is_page( 'Contributions' ) && !is_page( 'About' )

   Still though it would be interesting to know how a mixture of supression and "positive" things could work.

   Would also help people who, unlike myself, can't get what they want only through supression
