Wordpress Question

I have a site which is all powered by Wordpress. I have a normal sidebar which is contained in sidebar.php.

On the actual blog section, I want to put archives in the sidebar; however, I only want it on the blog section (and not the rest)

Does anyone know how I can do this, or where I could find this info? I've seen it done before, just (obviously) can't see their source too see what they've done.

Cheers

 

if you mean by the blog section as the main page ...

just test : if ( is_home())...

 

There are 4 pages:
- Home
- About
- Blog
- Contact

So if I use is_home() then will it work for the blog homepage, or the actual homepage homepage?

 

If you home is not a wordpress based, how can you get on homepage ?

 

It will only be on the home page , for the pages you should test with : is_page()

and i agree with Meethere , your question is a bit confusing ...

 

Everything is wordpress.

Homepage is like "welcome to our site" - its not actually displaying any blog posts, and has a different sidebar (sponsors, because its a free site for a charity)

On the blog section though, want to have archives in the sidebar instead of the sponsors.

Make sense? If I knew what I was doing it would make more sense!

 

<?php if (is_home() || is_page()) { ?>

<!-- your archive as mention -->

<?php } else { ?>

<!-- alterante if not home and page -->

<?php }  ?>

Code (markup):

or for more multi choice

<?php if (is_home() || is_page()) { ?>

<!-- your archive as mention -->

<?php } else if (is_category() ||  is_single()) { ?>

<!-- alterante to show thing in cat and single -->

<?php }  ?>

Code (markup):

try it out

 

Yes , you have to put your code above the homepage limit in the sidebar.php file....
