I am using different category's for my posts like "news, articles, gallery, videos and downloads". If I go to one of this category's via menu I can see the same sidebar as on startpage. But I want for every category a different sidebar and if possible for all posts of respective category the same sidebar as for category. But how I can see it's only possible if I create pages like "news, articles, ...". But then I have no posts inside this static pages. Is there a solutions like in your demo?
For the posts I could us the button to enable sidebar. But I cannot change over 20.000 articles one by one ...
My idea is something like that but for downoloads I have to use the trick with url because I am using downloadmanager and don't know how to check category like for posts ... And I cannot finde any category.php file for category pages. only for single posts ..
My second problem is the date. If I have posts I can see "2 Tage ago". In german "ago" is not translated. Do you have a solution for this? Maybe also to change this to a normal date like 2018-07-02
and third problem is if I donÄt change any header or footer menu it display's me all pages as standard ...
by the way. is there a possibility to extend the rating system with more criterias?
#1. For advanced sidebars management please use a plugin like Custom Sidebars, will allow you to do what you need. The built in sidebar generator is meant for basic usage.
#2. I'll have a look at this one, meantime you can manually change it in inc/widgets/wg-main-cat.php, line 186
Thanks. But with a Widget Plugin for sidebar I am not able to configurate it for categories. Only for single post siites but not for category sites.Am I right????
#1. I'm pretty sure with the plugin I mentioned you can attach sidebars to categories as well, sure if you can do it via code that's fine as well. I just mentioned the plugin for ease of use and flexibility.
#3. I didn't say it's hard just that needs cutom modifications to several files. Then also the front-end would likely need adjusting to fit more criterias.

Hi there,
#1. For advanced sidebars management please use a plugin like Custom Sidebars, will allow you to do what you need. The built in sidebar generator is meant for basic usage.
#2. I'll have a look at this one, meantime you can manually change it in inc/widgets/wg-main-cat.php, line 186
#3. Not without custom modifications unfortunately, the limit is 6 criterias.
Hope it helps

Thanks. But with a Widget Plugin for sidebar I am not able to configurate it for categories. Only for single post siites but not for category sites.Am I right????
1. I used something like that:
if ( is_category(news) || ( is_single() && in_category(news) ) )
{
dynamic_sidebar('sidebar_news');
}
elseif ( is_category(artikel) || ( is_single() && in_category(artikel) ) )
{
dynamic_sidebar('sidebar_articles');
}
elseif ( is_category(galerie) || ( is_single() && in_category(galerie) ) )
{
dynamic_sidebar('sidebar_gallery');
}
elseif ( is_category(videos) || ( is_single() && in_category(videos) ) )
{
dynamic_sidebar('sidebar_videos');
}
elseif (strpos(('http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),'download') !== false)
{
dynamic_sidebar('sidebar_downloads');
}
elseif (strpos(('http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),'forums') !== false)
{
dynamic_sidebar('sidebar_forum');
}
else
{
get_sidebar();
}
I can also use this in wg_sidebar.php and other to check for category. It simply and without plugins.
2. I found it, thanks.
3. But normally it's not to hard to change it. I have only to copy and paste some lines ;)
