Making each page’s sidebar identical

  • Hi there,

    I’m trying to get the sidebar of https://www.rapnews.co.uk main page to appear on every single page on the site. At the moment, the sidebar of each page is the same apart from the incorporation of a category called ‘top fives’ which lists a music chart.

    is this possible guys?

    One option that I have is, edit the sidebar.php and insert the code there.
    Can you locate the sidebar.php in your theme folder? And insert the code that you have inserted for the top 5 chart in the front page?

    like, adding this whole chunk of code in the sidebar.php
    ‘
    <h2>Headnod.co.uk Top 5 Hits</h2>
    <small> 1. Dangerdoom – Sofa King
    2. Kanzulu – Pain, Rain & Misery
    3. T La Rock – Its Yours
    4. Lewis Parker – Put A Beat To A Rhyme
    5. Big Shug – Do Ya
    All available via Headnod.co.uk
    ‘

    but I am not sure if that is the best way, because this way you need to change it everytime you update. But you can try that out.

    the top5 thing is already in the main sidebar.php file in the themes folder. but it only appears on the main page and no other.

    Then probably it is wrapped in an “if is_home” statement.

    i dont understand this? what do i now have to do to confirm that it’s ‘wrapped’ and how do i resolve the situation?

    thanks

    Well, in your sidebar’s code (posted by you: https://paste.uni.cc/7879) on line 85 a conditional tag starts:
    if this is a homepage…
    show stuff
    – which means it will show everything between that line and the closing
    <?php } ?> (line 111) ONLY on the homepage.
    Move that recent_posts thingy on line 112 – or 84.

    surely deleted 112 or 84 would make the catelgory disappear. i dont want that

    edit: sorry didn’t read properly
