ok i got this code in the side bar BUT its no good if the main post is in more than one catagory, where catagory name is i need it to show ALL the catgorys for the post that has been selected

<?php global $post; $categories = get_the_category();foreach ($categories as $category) : ?>
<h2>&raquo; <?php echo $category->name; ?></h2>
<ul class="rightcol">
<?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=20&amp;category='. $category->term_id);foreach($posts as $post) :?>
<li><span class="threecolsmall"><?php the_time('j M y') ?></span><br />
<a href='<?php the_permalink() ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<li><strong><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category->term_id);?>" title="View all posts filed under <?php echo $category->name; ?>">ARCHIVE FOR '<?php echo $category->name; ?>' CATEGORY &raquo;</a></strong></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

that does thanks.

perfect, thankyou.

43 minutes later i found the answer here:

so you cant apply it to multiple pages at the same time rather than writing if else for each page

another similar problem im trying to get a conditional statement to apply to certain pages ie:

<?php } else if (is_page('46','49','51','53')) { ?>

cant get it to work or find info on this, i only want something to show on these pages.

this is pretty good, have a test and see if it suits your purpose:

help! Dan said:

Brad, look in the gigs-calendar.php file at the “widget_upcoming” function. Specifically the generateList call.

But im not really sure what to do with that as im just only starting our with PHP.

htaccess it is then, thanks for your feedback guys.

why bother indeed, i did wonder that as well..also ive also considered the htaccess solution but heard it can mess things up in some cases, dont know how though..

will try the plugin

thats great, im just learning about the conditionals, thanks

Hi, what did you find out, i have the same question

thats great thank-you very much.

ok that makes sense, i actually need to exclude it from this code (sorry my mistake) and not sure how to add the cat exclusion
<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=<h3>News Categories</h3>'); ?>

i tried this but it doesnt work, am i close!:

<?php wp_list_categories('cat=-13&show_count=1&title_li=<h3>News Categories</h3>'); ?>
