   I´m using your Nature theme, that I´ve modded. It works just fine, except for one thing. I´ve created a tag.php to show the tag archive, but then the left sidebar shows all the last for pages and posts I´ve created, instead of only the last for posts from the categories I selected. On all other pages and archives I´don´t have this problem.

   The URL is http://www.helikonsymfonieorkest.nl

   Please post the tag template code here (cut and paste with backticks) or send it to my mail adress (milo317[at]googlemail[dot]com), so I can take a further look into it.
   We might use 'conditional' tags in the sidebar to show the relevant posts.
   Examples:

   
   is_tag()
   

   
   is_tag('slug')

   This is the code in tag.php:

   EDIT: somehow posting of code doesn't work. I'll e-mail the template to you.

   On re-reading my first post I thought I should clearify myself. What I want to appear in the sidebar are the latest posts I published in the categories with ID's 1 and 2.

   I am still working on the tag related problem, it will work on category based conditionals, but not on tag conditions.

   However there is an easy solution with a special sidebar, interested?

   Ok, this is the prob:
   your tag template states this call:
   ? php $ post = $ posts [ 0 ] ; / / Hack . Set $ post so that the _ date ( ) works . ? >

   < ? php / * If this is a tag archive * / if ( is _ tag ( ) ) { ?
   It's calling for the tag archive, while the sidebar acts like this:
   ? php / * If this is a monthly archive * / } elseif ( isset ( $ _ GET [ ' paged ' ] ) & & ! empty ( $ _ GET [ ' paged ' ] ) ) { ?

   Try one of the following php calls, add this BEFORE the category call in the sidebar:
   < ? php / * If this is a tag archive * / if ( is _ tag ( ) ) { ? >
< p > You are currently browsing the < a href = " < ? php echo get _ settings ( ' siteurl ' ) ; ? > " > < ? php echo bloginfo ( ' name ' ) ; ? > < / a > weblog archives for < ? php single _ tag _ title ( ) ; ? > . < / p >
   or this:
   < ? php / * If this is a tag archive * / } elseif ( is _ tag ( ) ) { ? >
< p >You are currently browsing the < a href = " < ? php echo get _ settings ( ' siteurl ' ) ; ? > " > < ? php echo bloginfo ( ' name ' ) ; ? > < / a > weblog archives for < ? php single _ tag _ title ( ) ; ? > . < / p >

   considering you are using the actual sidebar template, that came with the theme.

   Both calls don't work. But maybe that's because I've changed a few minor things in the sidebar code. This is the code I'm currently using:

   <? // LEFT SIDEBAR ?><div id="leftsidebar">

   <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : else : ?>

   <h2>Recent</h2>

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=1,2&showposts=4'); ?>

   <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

   <div class="post">

   <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> " rel="bookmark" title="Link naar <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

   <?php the_content_rss('meer...', FALSE, 'more_file', 12); ?>

   <small >⊆<?php the_time('d m Y') ?></small>

   </div><?php endwhile; ?>

   <?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?> <?php } ?>

   <?php endif; ?></div><? // END LEFT SIDEBAR ?>

   <? // RIGHT SIDEBAR ?><div id="rightsidebar">

   <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : else : ?>

   <h2>Zoek</h2>

   <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>

   <h2>Agenda</h2>

   <?php wp_dday_list(); ?>

   <?php st_tag_cloud(); ?>

   <?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?><?php } ?>

   <?php endif; ?></div><? // END RIGHT SIDEBAR ?>

   Not an easy resolution, but it might be the loop call:
   
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=1,2&showposts=4'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>


   Try this please instead:
   
<?php
query_posts('showposts=3');
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2>< a href = " < ? php the _ permalink ( ) ? > " rel= " bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="post">
<?php the_content_rss('meer...', FALSE, 'more_file', 12); ?>
<small>⊆<?php the_time('d m Y') ?></small></div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>


   PLEASE note the difference in last line:
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   to
   <?php endwhile; else: ?>

   Important, as the new loop won't work only with endwhile;
