For example, on the about page you would do this. <pre><code><?php if (is_page('about')) { ?> Put your about page code here <?php } ?></code></pre> ollep on "Coditional Sidebar display?" http://www.themelab.com/forums/topic/coditional-sidebar-display#post-125 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 08:21:59 +0000 ollep 125@http://www.themelab.com/forums/ Hi Leland I believe I saw an article here about “conditional display” in sidbar? Or was it at the WP page? Anyway, I want to alter the sidebar display on the different pages. How do I go about doing that? Thanks!!!

At the moment I have the 2 column WP-Default theme, but believe that I can’t utilize the space to the right sufficiently. <a href="http://www.pratapengar.nu/wordblog/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.pratapengar.nu/wordblog/index.php</a> Help!

One problem with being at this early stage – I get a couple of questions answered and immediately fin 5 or 6 new once. But I followed the tutorial and stuck in a few Widgets in the sidebar. But it didn’t change the appearance a bit? <a href="http://www.pratapengar.nu/wordblog/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.pratapengar.nu/wordblog/index.php</a> Looking at your example in the tutorial, do I need to change to a “two-side column-theme”? On this site you are using full width banners, 3 column split and 2 column split???????? I had some Google ads in my sidebar before this experiment, they are now gone. Do I need to put Google code into the text-widgets now? Would that be the case with other Affiliate banner ads? How do I access the code? Do I need to go back to “sidebar.php”? That’s it for now Leland, I’m going to look for some RSS feeds. Cheers for now… Olle… Leland on "Right theme for RSS Feed?" http://www.themelab.com/forums/topic/right-theme-for-rss-feed#post-117 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:45:57 +0000 Leland 117@http://www.themelab.com/forums/ Not exactly sure what you mean. You mean you want the contents of an RSS feed displayed on your own site? I would suggest trying to find a plugin to do this in the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/">WordPress plugin directory</a> Leland on "Sidebar Table Design?" http://www.themelab.com/forums/topic/sidebar-table-design#post-116 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:43:19 +0000 Leland 116@http://www.themelab.com/forums/ You may want to consider using sidebar widgets to fill up your sidebar.

Firstly, the theme you use here Leland, does that come with the sidebar layout and horizontal menu as it is. – what’s the name? RSS Feed: I use RSS feed on this page: <a href="http://www.mudgeerabahilltons.com/dotnetnuke/accommodation/BloggingNews/AussieNews/tabid/239/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.mudgeerabahilltons.com/dotnetnuke/accommodation/BloggingNews/AussieNews/tabid/239/Default.aspx</a> I now reading up on how to do it in WP, but everywhere you guys talk about RSS feed into the sidebars. How do I get RSS feed in my main column (On a news dedicated page.) and maintain the sidebar for navigation and advertising. Cheers…Have a great weekend….

It looks very professional and useful – you’re in my “favourite list” now. I’ve been playing a bit with DotNetNuke, but have now my first WP blog up and running since a few days back. Very new to this stuff. Here it is: <a href="http://www.pratapengar.nu/wordblog/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.pratapengar.nu/wordblog/index.php</a> My first problem is the sidebar, looks pretty skinny and empty. Looks like you, and may others, are using some table layout?? Can I find the code for it – or is it a completely different theme you are using? Cheers for now… Olle…
