Hi presswolfe – You can create a custom menu and place that in the sidebar in a widget. Use the ‘visibility’ option in the widget to tell it on what pages you want that menu to show.
Where is the visibility option? I can’t seem to locate it in order to specify the categories I’d like it to appear on.
Sorry, I guess I should have clarified that I want to display custom sidebars on the main category PAGES — not sidebars for the individual posts within each category. I am already able to display custom sidebars for the posts. It is the actual PARENT PAGE of each category that I am having difficulties with.
Is there a way to do it for each main category page?
Ahhhh… I did some searching and found a plugin called “Custom Sidebars” that solved the problem.
After installing, it is quite easy to use. Basically, the plugin lets you select a PARENT category sidebar that you can substitute with a CHILD category sidebar. The problem I had was that the PARENT sidebar was showing up on ALL of my category main pages (the individual posts were fine though). Now each category page has its own unique sidebar that will allow for different ads as well. Relieved!
