 * Ahhh nevermind. Figured it out. Just had to put the defined CSS styles at the
   top of the “archive.php” and applied the class names to the tags.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Alex, no replies from anyone else on this yet. Is there a way that I can show
   the message “no posts” in a category that hasn’t any posts in it?

 * I found this fix in another support area. If you add this to your CSS styles,
   then the messages will disappear if the mouse hovers over them — or if the cursor
   is in the form field:
 * .wpcf7-form-control-wrap:hover .wpcf7-not-valid-tip, .wpcf7-form-control:focus
   + .wpcf7-not-valid-tip { display:none; }

 * This was a bit of a headache, but I figured out that you need to put the category
   SLUG name within the quotation marks (not the category name). If you want to 
   have a mult-worded category name just put a dash in between the words of the 
   actual slug (in your WordPress category settings) and you can write it without
   the slugs in the quotation.
 * So your “Sports and Fitness” slug would have to be “sports-and-fitness” and use
   this code in your CF7 form:
 * [checkbox* post_category_name “Gigs” “Sports and Fitness”]
 * or in a dropdown menu…
 * [select* post_category_name “Gigs” “Sports and Fitness”]
 * etc…

 * Nevermind, it works if you set it as “pending”. I didn’t reload the browser after
   changing the Contact Form 7 info.
 * A note to people who want to do this… they should make sure they have downloaded
   the “CF7 Dynamic Text Extension” plugin.
 * Put this in the form settings:

 * Is there a way to make the post appear as “pending” instead of “draft”?
 * When I set it to “pending” and submit the form info, the post STILL appears as
   a “draft” for some reason.

 * 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!

 * 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?

 * Thanks for the help though. I found a way to do it by using two plugins in-tandem
   with each other: (1) AVH Extended Categories Widgets and (2) Widgetize pages 
   Light
 * The first plugin/widget allows more control over what categories are displayed
   and the “Widgetize pages Light” plugin lets you put the categories on an actual
   WordPress page.
 * It took some tinkering with Firebug to customize the widget’s CSS but it solved
   the problem without doing any coding with the php files. Wheww.

   the categories I’d like it to appear on.

 * I actually would prefer to have the red links appear arranged exactly as how 
   they are. All I want to do is include the number of job posts appear in brackets
   next to the red links.
 * What you described sounds a bit complicated for my level of “expertise”. Is there
   a way that I could just add the numbers in brackets beside the red links with
   some simple steps to follow for how to code it?

 * Thanks for getting back to me about it.
 * I am having difficulties using that code to do what I’m trying to accomplish 
   on the site.
 * If you have time to look at the site at [this URL](http://www.eslexpat.com/beta/jobs/)
   it may be clearer in context.
 * Basically, I want to have the number of job posts show in the main column next
   to where the red links are for each country — similar to how they appear in the
   left grey sidebar column. The red links point to the posts in each country’s 
   category.
 * Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
