Try it with this widget: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/
What is it you want to do exactly? Show some content you put in a Custom Field?
Something like this I guess (where NAME is the name of the custom field):
<?php
if (is_single() && get_post_meta($post->ID, 'NAME', true)) {
echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'NAME', true);
}
?>

okay. Thanks for the replies,,,
To be specific I want a custom sidebar content that changes per post. I knew we can create different sidebars per post but that won’t be practical.
I’ll try your suggested plug in keesiemeijer because it can call php plus the code given by chadrew.
“What is it you want to do exactly? Show some content you put in a Custom Field?” – Yes! and show them in the sidebar….
Sidebars are not ‘in the loop‘…you can create a table in your post or page with content that shows on the right or left, and use a theme that turns off the main sidebars on post or pages…
You can also use templates

chadrew, it isn’t working… (whether the code or the plugin
swanson, I find it boring to read all those but I got the thoughts that it’s probably not on the loop since there is no <?php get_sidebar(); ?> on my single.php
My intention was to help…Just call me turtle.

okay thanks turtle….
So how do I do this? Am not very good with php:
“Sidebars are not ‘in the loop’…you can create a table in your post or page with content that shows on the right or left, and use a theme that turns off the main sidebars on post or pages…”
Just put the code I gave you in your sidebar.php file (somewhere under all the widgets, I guess). And don’t forget to replace NAME with the actual name of the custom field. I just tried it and it worked for me.
