 * Is there a way to place an if condition in the sidebar.php to display certain
   elements depending on what page, or category is being displayed?
 * For example I want the Recent posts to show up on sub pages, but not on the index.
   php.
 * Also I want the subcategories to be seen only on the category-4 page but not 
   on other.
 * Please let me know if this is possible.
 * Also, I’m a newbie, when it comes to php, so please keep that in mind and try
   and simplify the explanation.
 * Thanks.

 * The answer is yes. But where I am confused is whether that could be integrated
   with the widget set up.
