I want to show a sidebar only to the author of a post.
How do I do that?
Thanks

To show your sidebar only to the author of the post, you need to first locate the get_sidebar() code in your theme files. Usually this code can be found in the root of your theme, in the file single.php
Then replace the code get_sidebar() with this one
function show_sidebar_only_to_author(){
global $post;
$page_id = get_queried_object_id();
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$author_id = get_post_field( 'post_author', $page_id );
if ( $user_id == $author_id ) {
get_sidebar();
}
}
add_action( 'get_footer', 'show_sidebar_only_to_author' );
Hope this helps.
