Adding sidebar widgets for only specific pages

    Hi. We are using WordPress both for our website (static pages) and for a blog. The static pages use the “full width page” template and that works fine. But for our blog pages, we would like to add info such as Categories, Tags, Latest Posts, Search, and Archives on the right-hand sidebar.

    Questions:
    1) How to enable this for blog pages only?
    2) Can we change the content of the side-bars for different blog pages? (Example – ‘search’ box is shown in one blog page but not in another)

    Thanks!

    Yes you can easily do this. When the blog pages are showing they will be using either the index.php file or the category.php from your themes files. Therefore editing these to include a sidebar would do the trick.

    To make things only appear on certain pages you would need to use Conditional Tags. Take a look here:

    Ok. I think I can figure that part out. I just need to find out how to make the posts show up on specific pages 🙂
