Having followed this thread to achieve the same outcome (and having come unstuck a couple of times) i thought i would try and help anyone else who follows on themselves. [All hail to those that worked it out – i didn’t!]

Firstly, here is the “final code” solution that works.. this is the basic contents of functions.php located in your child theme directory (based on ‘twentyten’); this as mentioned previously is loaded before the parent theme file copy of the same name.

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

The outcome of this code is apparent in the “widgets” section of your admin panel. Note that you will see two widget areas remaining ‘forth-footer-widget-area’ and ‘Alt primary widget area’. To get rid of the final legacy widget area ‘forth-footer….’ simply add the line

unregister_sidebar( ‘fourth-footer-widget-area’ );

Lastly and importantly, REMEMBER to activate your Child theme in the admin > themes page or none of this will be apparent

I am having the same issue; it was working until i installed the amr ical plugin and in so doing enabled custom events so that i now have a separate category for creating posts (Events). This new post custom category shares “categories” with normal posts

Problem Solved.. Thank you for pointing in the right direction!!

Thanks Esmi..i have been through the validation and it now passes but the issue remains…

Any thoughts (anybody…)

Any ideas as to why this method does not work on static pages?

(to elaborate – i have a new sidebar widget placed in my homepage which is set to static; using either “TS Custom Widgets” or “Widget Logic” to control the pages in which the widget is displayed works however then setting the category (tried tags also) to show only say “news” causes nothing to be displayed or all; never just “news” items..

Any ideas?

Herko.. it seems i am experiencing the same issue.. i have a static “homepage” and wish to display posts of category “news”.. (using wp2.9.2 and ataluha theme) i have created a new main page sidebar for the job and placed recent posts widget in it.. so far all good.. previously using widget logic and now custom widget i can have the widget loaded exclusively on the homepage..

However when i choose only the “news” category (indeed tried with tags as well) to display posts for it doesn’t do the filter..

Could you elaborate on the solution

****set the widgets to show on the ‘home page’ (checkbox in the list at the bottom of the page****

Which page is this set on?

****for those widgets you want to show on the static posts page ou set in your WP settings****

which WP setting?

Hope you can help.. probably be useful for others!!
