    Hello, I’m very new to WordPress themes and I am trying to design my own. I don’t want to have any widgets on my sidebar, I only want a color bar to show up on every page, I want the color to change depending on the category being viewed but I’m having trouble writing the code for this, I keep getting error after error…

    Here is what I would like to show on most pages: 

    <div class="bar1"></div>
	        <div class="bar2"></div>
	        <div class="bar3"></div>

    Then for category 1 I want to show <div class="bar1A"></div>, for category 2 <div class="bar2A"></div>and category 3 <div class="bar3A"></div>

    I tried creating 2 different sidebars but had no success either. I tried the code below:

    <div id="bar">

<?php if (is_category( '1' ) ) { ?>

	        <div class="bar1A">
	        </div>

} <?php if (is_category( '2' ) ) { ?>

	        <div class="bar2A">
	        </div>

} <?php if (is_category( '3' ) ) { ?>

	        <div class="bar3A">
	        </div>

} <?php elseif {

	        <div class="bar1"></div>
	        <div class="bar2"></div>
	        <div class="bar3"></div>

 ?>

 </div>

    But I only get errors… I change somethings here and there and then get no sidebar at all, or parse errors…

    Can anyone help me, please?

    I figured it out:

    <?php if ( in_category( '1' ) ) {

echo '<div id="bar"><div class="bar1A"></div></div>';

} elseif ( in_category( '2' ) ) {

echo '<div id="bar"><div class="bar2A"></div></div>';

} elseif ( in_category( '3' ) ) {

echo '<div id="bar"><div class="bar3A"></div></div>';

} elseif ( is_category() ) {

	        echo '<div id="bar"><div class="bar1">
	        </div>
	        <div class="bar2">
	        </div>
	        <div class="bar3">
	        </div></div>';

}
?>
<?php endif;?>
