Sorted this myself! May help some people… $cat = get_query_var(‘cat’); $prod_extras = get_option(Category_Extras); $this_application = $prod_extras[$cat][‘Category_Extras_Applications’]; if(!empty($this_application)) { echo $this_application; } Cheers, Dave
You should simply add the html block to the built in text widget. And as for positioning it above the menu just use the drag n’ drop functionality of the sidebar widgets.
There are two approaches to my question, that are both useful. They were provided by @goldenapples and @Bainternet. Custom Post Type Data in Sidebar widgets? How to quickly switch custom post type singular template?
Not possible in WP 3.2.1. See here http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_pages under “Parameters” and “page_name”. I’m working on exactly the same thing, but it seems I’ll need to resort to to a custom query: http://codex.wordpress.org/Displaying_Posts_Using_a_Custom_Select_Query

Try the Font-End Editor. Or you can try some of these. 8 WordPress Plugins that Enable Posting and Editing From the Front-End I have never used any of these plugins, so I cannot say as to how well they will perform.
You should be able to do this with just having the front page show blog posts like it does by default. No need to make empty pages and redirect and all that. In the theme file that contains your navigation (quite likely header.php), look for something that looks like this: <ul> <?php wp_list_pages( /* maybe … Read more
I found what appears to be the solution I needed after a lot of digging so I figured if anyone else might need the example, here it is… http://mondaybynoon.com/2011/05/20/revisiting-custom-post-types-taxonomies-permalinks-slugs/
