Hi,

You can try adding this in your child theme’s functions.php file.

add_filter( 'ups_sidebar', 'fix_category_sidebar' );

function fix_category_sidebar($default_sidebar ) {
     $categories = get_the_category();
     $post_categories = array();
     if(is_array($categories)) {
     foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
          $post_categories[] = $category->term_id;
     }
     }
     
     $sidebars   = get_option( 'ups_sidebars' );
     if(is_array($sidebars)){
     foreach ( $sidebars as $id => $sidebar ) {    
            if(isset($sidebar['taxonomies']) && is_array($sidebar['taxonomies'])){         
             foreach($sidebar['taxonomies'] as $t_id => $tax) {
                 if(in_array($t_id,$post_categories)) {
                     return $id;
                 }
             }               
             }           
     }
     }
    return $default_sidebar ;
}

Hope that helps.
