    great thanks… and what if that page has child pages?

    this is just for the parent; you can add more pages by doing this:

    if( is_page(  'serivces'  ) || is_page(  'other-page'  ) || is_page(  'even-another'  ){

   }

    Use the page slug instead of ‘other-page’ and separate each is_page() request with two pipesigns ( || )

    ok, and how would i do this dynamically? if a new child page was added and I didn’t want to go in and add a new part o the code.

    global $post;
if( $post->parent_id != '0' ){
  get_sidebar( );
}

    This will display the sidebar only to childpages.

    so what about my parent page?

    I have tried this but it doesn’t work:

    <?php global $post;
					if( $post->parent_id != '0' || is_page(  'office-interiors'  )){
					get_sidebar( );
					}?>

    Solved this now

    <?php global $post;
					if( $post->post_parent == '0' || is_page(  'office-interiors'  )){
					get_sidebar( );
					}?>

    thanks for your help!
