Here is a little tip for creating a standard sidebar for category archives, different to the homepage sidebar. Searching on google for ages trying to work this out, but didn’t realise how easy it would be.

In the category template, delete this:
<?php get_sidebar();?>
replace with:
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar2.php');?>

Sidebar2.php being your alternative sidebar.

This is a lot quicker than using multiple if and else ifelse statements.  dur dur

Count the number of posts within the current post category.

If we have the category “Marketing” and we have 15 posts within this category, we could use the plugin to display the total number of posts within the category, the plugin is very useful if you want to let the readers know that you have 15 other posts about marketing.

You can download the Post Category Count Plugin here PostCategoryCount (278)

If you find the plugin useful please comment on my blog or link to me.
