    HI,

    I have installed this fantastic widget on http://www.premierweb.net.au.

    Is there a way to show the specific widgets on the individual post pages within the same category?

    e.g. I have restricted widgets to the category Article Writing. I also want these widgets to appear on all posts within this category.

    Can you please let me know how to do this?

    I tried using ‘Single Posts’ and ‘Blog Posts’ but it didn’t seem to work.

    Thanks

    Of course, you can achieve that using rw_display_widget() filter, for example if you want to display your widget on a category of ID 1:

    function custom_rw_display_widget ($display, $instance) {
    if (is_category(1) && $instance['title'] == 'Your widget title') { // change Your widget title
    $display = true; // or false if you want to hide it
    }
    return $display;
    }
    add_filter('rw_display_widget', 'custom_rw_display_widget', 10, 2);

    Thanks Bartosz.

    So I can’t set this up on the widget itself – i.e. using the ‘Display / Hide Widget’ function?

    I’m not clear on where I should add this code and whether it will show the widget information on all posts within the same category.

    Can you please clarify?

    Thanks

    No, you can’t do it that way. We just can’t handle all the possible variations in widget options. But using a filter allows you to set up literaly ANY conditions you need.

    Just add this to your theme’s functions.php and adjust to your needs using WordPress conditional tags http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
