I have two sidebar widgets, I need to display 1 widget on the archive pages for the standard post categories and the other widget needs to show on just the archive pages for a specific custom post type.

If I use the conditional tag is_archive() then both widgets will show up on both archive pages.

How can I determine which archive page the widgets should be displayed on?

I'm using the plugin 'Widget Logic'

Thanks in advance

Welcome to WP Stack Exchange! You could use the is_tax() function to accomplish this. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your reply. The problem I have is that the non standard archive pages are for a custom post type of 'Product' and the categories related to the products can be added frequently so I would need to update the code each time a new product or category is added. Is there anyway I can just add one widget to the standard archive pages and then one widget to the archive pages for the custom post type of product? – Brad Aug 16 '12 at 15:22
Hi - the first parameter, the taxonomy slug is required - so this would be something like product-categories. The second, a specific term, is optional, so it'd be perfectly acceptable to have: is_tax('product-categories') – Zach Aug 16 '12 at 15:57
Sorry - first parameter is also optional, but that's where you would specify your taxonomy slug. Thanks. – Zach Aug 16 '12 at 16:51
