    Help please! I'm trying to use the in_category function in my wordpress blog's sidebar so that certain things show up in the sidebar to correspond with the categories. I read through the wordpress guide: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/in_category and my code looks like:
    
<?php
if ( have_posts() ) { the_post(); rewind_posts(); }

if ( in_category('7') ) {
########category specific code######

} elseif ( in_category('25') ) {
########category specific code######

} else {
########category specific code######
}

?>
    PHP:
    all this does is make my whole sidebar fail.
