thanks for your reply

i tried your method and it came up with an error, but when i put the code just below the next/previous code it was ok. however it still doesn’t show up. Is this because i need to put a code into the particular pages i want to have next/previous links? Or is there something else additional i need to do after having that code in page.php
regards!

thanks bronson!

unfortunately that code doesn’t work ??

i’m trying to make it like sparknotes because my website is full of books ??

bump?! can anyone help?
much appreciated

bump?

hi reuben,
i’m sorry but I did not mean actual post themselves. WordPress has front page and posts page….so I’m talking about the posts page that i need help with. It’s just like any other page, but for some reason my code won’t work?

valandil,
thanks for your help. I tried using that code you provided however it did not work? what am i supposed to replace featured.php with? sorry if i’m slow, i’m a beginner.

kind regards

thanks reuben.

this is what i’ve tried in single.php, without success. can you help?

<?php if ( is_page('postspage')) { ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/sidebar-blog.php');?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/sidebar-blog.php');?>
<?php } ?>

WOW thank you so much reuben – it worked!

can i ask, how did my category pages change to the unique sidebar even though we didn’t put any ‘category code’?

and i have one more question: for the posts page….where do I put a code for this? I’ve tried is_page(‘postpage’) before but it didn’t work (unless i didn’t code it properly)?

please help!
thank you so much

I found this code on the internet which could work…..

<?php 

if (is_page('Page Name 1') || $post->post_parent == '##') {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/right-1.php');

} elseif (is_page('Page Name 2') || $post->post_parent == '##') {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/right-2.php');

} elseif (is_page('Page Name 3') || $post->post_parent == '##') {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/right-3.php');

} elseif (is_page('Page Name 4') || $post->post_parent == '##')
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/right-4.php');

?>

but not sure how i would code for my main sidebar. I understand how to do the unique sidebars with this code, but where would i put this part?

<?php } else { ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/sidebar-alt.php');?>
<?php } ?>

sorry if this is confusing again! help would be much appreciated!

hey gisha james,
thanks for the reply, but unfortunately it didn’t work.

i got this instead

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSEIF

is there another way?

hi everyone
thanks for your help but i found what i was looking for:
i used this code:

<?php if ( is_page(‘whatever your page is called’) ) { ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/sidebar-enc.php’);?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/sidebar-alt.php’);?>
<?php } ?>

and it works wonderfully!

that’s going back to my question, i’ve tried that and it didn’t work unfortunately.

i believe it’s because i have two sidebars, one is called sidebar, the second called sidebar-alt.
if i use

<?php $sidebar = get_post_meta($post->ID, “sidebar”, true);
get_sidebar($sidebar);
?>

then it just replaces my sidebar, not sidebar-alt…..

sidebar and enc for my replacement sidebar called sidebar-enc

Hi Joseph!
Thanks so much for replying.
Do you mean replace
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.”/sidebar-alt.php”);?>
with
<?php get_sidebar( ‘alt’ ); ?>
?

Because i tried that and it didn’t work….and i’ve got the right custom value as well.
please help!

hi everyone, i just changed applications to a more user friendly one – FB-Like Button
and it’s doing it’s job!
