Hi there,

Would you mind providing your admin login credentials as well? The login you provided redirects to a member dashboard.

Thanks!

Hi there,

It still the same, it won’t allow me to access the admin dashboard. It redirects me to different URL of the member dashboard.

Is there any special procedure?

Thanks!

Hi There,

I am able to login and check. As stated on the thread:

With this customization, it will allow you to set your custom sidebar per category. You may add or edit your category at Admin > Posts > Categories and set your sidebar. If there is no sidebar, then it will use main sidebar. Please also note that if your items has multiple category, then it will pickup the last category and use its sidebar. See attached screenshot on how to select category.

Hi there,

That post has multiple categories, and it’s not possible to have multiple sidebars on the same page as well. Hence, by default, it will only pick the sidebar from the first category assigned to it. It happens to be the Compliance category ( http://dmec.org/wordpress/wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=category&tag_ID=150&post_type=post ). And it the assigned sidebar is set to default (Main Sidebar) which is empty.

Please assig a different sidebar for Compliance category.

Make sure the sidebar is implemented on the front as well, like from here https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/create-sidebar-for-post-category/page/3/#post-244194

Thanks!

I added that code into the functions.php file when this first started.

I did however assign a category for the compliance category and still nothing….Am i missing something on that thread?

Hi there,

I checked your files through FTP and the only implemented code is for the backend. It has another set of code to display it on the front end. Like from the last URL that I provided, it’s the same thread but just different page number. Please check the discussion 🙂

Thanks!

Are you referring to the wp-single.php? I added that code in and still nothing. Can you be more direct in what is needed it help us both out!

Thanks!

I had to remove the wp-single.php file because it was causing a blank left sidebar….

[Rad]

Hi there,

It doesn’t need to be the wp-single.php, I added this code to your child theme’s functions.php

add_filter( 'ups_sidebar', 'ups_display_category_sidebar', 99 );

function ups_display_category_sidebar ( $sidebar ) {

  

if ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {

    $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'category' );
    

    if ( isset( $terms ) && count( $terms ) > 0 ) {

          $term = array_pop( $terms );
          $setting = get_option( "taxonomy_".$term->term_id );
          $sidebar = $setting['category-sidebar'];

    }

}

return $sidebar;

}

And it will pick the sidebar from the very last category that is assigned to your post.

Cheers!
