[Help]How to show different sidebar content for different pages?

[albpower]

Edit your files:

get_sidebar(); //sidebar.php 

get_sidebar('home'); //sidebar-home.php 

get_sidebar('foo'); //sidebar-foo.php 

Use if statements to determine on which page you currently are.

hmm I cant get so clear... there is only one sidebar.php with that code in the previosly post. In the index.php
with this code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

            <!-- BEGIN MAIN -->
            <div id="main">
                
                <?php if(get_option('pyre_featured_slider') == 'On' && get_option('pyre_featured_tags')): ?>
                <?php
                $post_types = get_post_types();
                unset($post_types['page'], $post_types['attachment'], $post_types['revision'], $post_types['nav_menu_item']);
                
                $featured_posts = new WP_Query(array(
                    'post_type' => $post_types,
                    'showposts' => 5,
                    'tag' => get_option('pyre_featured_tags')
                ));
                ?>

            <!-- END MAIN -->
            
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
            
<?php get_footer(); ?>

you can see there is this function

<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Homepage')): ?>

which calls it with the sidebar name 'Homepage' but how to do for example in category posts page to show that sidebar and the sidebar to be with different content,I mean for every category to have different widgets.
