If you knew how long I had searched to find this - I even installed a plugin that supposedly did this (it didn't). Such a simple solution. Thankyou!!

My site (www.freebiejeebie.co.uk) is fine with the new footer being there, but when you go to the section I have activated the new code I get the following results: http://www.freebiejeebie.co.uk/category/Terminology/ As you can see there are 2 footers printed which is obiously not what I wanted :) Any views as to why this would happen would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Stu Hi Sarah,

Your question is not exactly related to this post, but I found that plugin and thought it might be something for you. Good luck!

The page will use whatever is specified in the template, depending on if it's a regular page, single post, or archives page, etc. It will always use the default header, siderbar, footer unless you specify otherwise in the template. If you create a new page that uses your archives template, then whatever you specify for that specific page (using the technique above) will be the sidebar, footer, header, etc. Thanks, Russell!

I guess all those sweet custom page templates with unique headers and sidebars, are pretty legacy these days. I'm curious, though, what happens on a tag page, when posts with different sidebars are displayed. Does it use the CF specified in the most recently published post? Would that mean that if someone clicked on "Older Entries" that the sidebar, header or footer might change on them? Sweet, thanks for sharing this.
