 * Hi,
 * I have a theme with a sidebar for every kind of page, tag and categories. Now
   I have sub pages and I have put this code in the sidebar.php
 * <?php if(is_page(‘2190’)){ ?>
 * But nothing is shown in the subpage. I have search and I have found another solutions,
   like
 * <?php if($post->post_parent =’2190′){ ?>
 * Then I can see the custom sidebar in the subpage and I have two sidebars in the
   rest of the blog: the original for every tag, category and pages, and at the 
   end of this one, the custom sidebar of the subpage… Any idea? Thanks!

 * try to put the two into one and correct the comparison operator:
 * `<?php if( is_page(2190) || $post->post_parent == 2190 ){ ?>`

 * does the sidebar show for the page directly?
 * possibly try to add `global $post;` before the `if`
 * please post the full code of sidebar.php

 * Hi,
 * I made a new sidebar only for this page, as people recommended in this topic:

 * And it works!
