Hook into ‘dynamic_sidebar’ and count how often it is called. You get the current active sidebar with key( $GLOBALS[‘wp_registered_sidebars’] ). add_action( ‘dynamic_sidebar’, ‘wpse_96681_hr’ ); function wpse_96681_hr( $widget ) { static $counter = 0; // right sidebar in Twenty Ten.

I have an ‘actor’ cpt and it seems to automatically get added to the query: SELECT object_id, term_taxonomy_id FROM wp_term_relationships INNER JOIN wp_posts ON object_id = ID WHERE term_taxonomy_id IN (38,40,30,11,32,34,29,39,35,9,31,19,33,37,42,41,27,25,36,1,26) AND post_type IN (‘post’, ‘actor’) AND post_status=”publish” Call from: require, require_once, include, get_sidebar, get_template_part, locate_template, load_template, require, dynamic_sidebar, call_user_func_array, WP_Widget->display_callback, WP_Widget_Categories->widget, wp_list_categories, get_categories, get_terms, … Read more
