If so, do you need any type of plug-in? * Thank you in advance for any kind of help. 🙂 Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [stchatterbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stchatterbox/) * (@stchatterbox) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225346) * yes, there’s one for comment, i think [http://blog.jodies.de/blog/20041113/](http://blog.jodies.de/blog/20041113/) as for post, i’ll try to search that out later. good luck! * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225348) * [http://www.semiologic.com/projects/recent-comments/](http://www.semiologic.com/projects/recent-comments/) * [http://www.semiologic.com/projects/recent-posts/](http://www.semiologic.com/projects/recent-posts/) * [Michael Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/) * (@miklb) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225349) * The template tag get_posts would suffice for a sidebar item [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts) * Thread Starter [bk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bk/) * (@bk) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225426) * **stchatterbox**: It worked! It would be nice if you could post a similar one but with “Recent Posts.” This was pretty easy that’s why. * Thank you. 🙂 * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225428) * [http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/08/27/plugin-customizable-post-listings/](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/08/27/plugin-customizable-post-listings/) * Thread Starter [bk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bk/) * (@bk) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225438) * Thanks Moshu.

Is there a plug-in? * This one is off-topic but when you go to my comments page, the shoutbox and “ Misc” are not on the sidebar for some reason?

Works perfect! * Last question, hopefully. 🙂 When you go to the comments page, you can’t see the “Misc” menu on the sidebar. Same with if you click on the category name, it doesn’t display the “Misc” menu on the sidebar. How to fix that? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225617) * Now that’s a little bit more complicated question. Since your theme is a modification of the Default (Kubrick) in its `sidebar.php` template there are a lot of “if statements” – meaning it has code lines that tell WP “if we are on archives – > show this and that”; “if we are on another page –> show something else” etc. So it is not something that needs a “fix”, since nothing is wrong. I don’t know exactly what is in your sidebar’s code, what has been changed or modified, so it’s difficult to guess. BTW, correctly this is the single post view (using the single.php template) – there is no “comments page”. * Thread Starter [bk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bk/) * (@bk) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225637) * Oh, alright. Thanks for clarifying. I guess I’ll leave it like this then. Once again, thanks a lot for your help. 🙂 * [Lorelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorelle/) * (@lorelle) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225655) * These may also help: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Your_Sidebar](http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Your_Sidebar) [http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_Lists_with_CSS](http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_Lists_with_CSS) * [stchatterbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stchatterbox/) * (@stchatterbox) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225744) * and also, forgotten to ask a question, is there a recent forum post plugin? if i power punBB forum in my blog? thanks Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) The topic ‘Changing Sidebar?’ is closed to new replies. * 14 replies * 6 participants * Last reply from: [stchatterbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stchatterbox/) * Last activity: [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-sidebar/#post-225744) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
