Hi Joern,
I've got a vague feeling that you might have helped me with something similar before but I can't find the answer.
Essentially, all I want to do is change a single page so that it has a different sidebar and header ad. e.g. http://www.iamstaggered.com/style/favourbrook would have a Favourbrook ad at sidebar and header.
Please help me Joern, you're my only hope!
Put a conditional tag around the different adds, like this:
<?php if ( is_single('Favourbrook') ) { ?>
do Favourbrook add here
<?php } else { ?>
do any other stuff here
<?php } ?>that's just for this single post, more conditional tags see here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
btw: is my 'Subscribe To Topic via Email' working in this forum?
Let me try again as it seemed to take that post
- thank-you
- notification is working great
- does the conditional code go in sidebar.php and header.php?
I see your reply..
now changed to weird..
anywhere, in header.php make space under your add, paste the code as is and look if you see the text 'do Favourbrook add here' or 'do any other stuff here' under your head.
If yes it's working and you put your different adds instead of the text.
sidebar.php ditto
while editing header.php you could delete:
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" />as this comes twice in your source code, once generated by wordpress alone
I'll try posting a very small section:
<a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/logotrial3.jpg" width="410px" height="110px" alt="" /></a>
<div id="tagline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
</div>
<div class="right">
<?php if ( is_single('Favourbrook') ) { ?>
<a href="http://www.iamstaggered.com" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.designaventure.co.uk');"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/banners/testadvert.png" alt="" width="450px" height="130px" /></a><?php } else { ?>
<a href="http://www.designaventure.co.uk" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.designaventure.co.uk');"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/banners/Designaventureadjan.jpg" alt="" width="450px" height="136px" /></a>
<?php } ?>
</div>Ok, that seems to do it - this is from header.php but it doesn't amend the Favourbrook page to use the testadvert.png - any ideas where I'm going wrong?
it seems not to recognize the is_single
you could try with the ID of this post is_single('17') 17 sould be your ID
or with the page slug is_single('favourbrook')
I hope we talk about a single post? that's not a page or category, right?
If it's a page you need:
is_page('favourbrook')
Hi Joern,
More on this I'm afraid - I can't quite seem to format the tags for a series of conditional tags.
What I want is different sidebar ads depending on the page (e.g. some will be different ads for blog categories, some for individual pages, etc).
For that reason I think I need to create a set of conditions such as below, but using this gives me a parsing error. Any chance you could give me a pointer?
Thanks again.

<?php } elseif ( is_category('anyothercat') ) { ?>
anyothercat thing
<?php } elseif ( is_tag('stag-do') ) { ?>
thing for tag stag-do
<?php } else { ?>
<a href="http://www.iamstaggered.com/forum/challenge-staggered/how-does-it-work">
<img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/banners/Ateam11.png" alt="" width="300px" height="250px" />
</a>
<?php } ?>You could also use a plugin like the Graceful Sidebar Plugin. This simple plugin enables you to customize your posts or pages with unique sidebar content.
Enjoy!
