Replace Side Menu with Another Menu. PHP injection

    OK,

    So I have the following website, and have just started writing articles:

    https://www.regularrefunds.com/how-leicester-city-fc-cost-the-bookmakers-millions/

    The page originally wanted to show a side bar menu which wasn’t appropriate for the blog section so I deleted the following from single.php:

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    What would be extremely handy, is if I could create a new menu on the right that could detail the blog part of the site a little more, i.e. categories, list articles by months etc. I can get the menu built easy enough, but how would I “call” this secondary menu within single.php?

    It appears that you deleted the sidebar rather than deal properly with its content. replace the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> then use APPEARANCE -> WIDGETS to control the content there. Create a menu in APPEARANCE -> MENUS and then use the Custom Menu widget to plop that menu into your sidebar.

    You’re slightly misunderstood, the sidebar is only removed when viewing POSTS, it is available on the main site when looking at PAGES.

    What I want, is for <?php get_sidebar(); ?> to bring up a different menu in POSTS to what is being brought up for PAGES

    Thanks

    install the plugin “widget context”. It will allow you to tell widgets on which pages/posts/templates they should appear (or not appear).
