    Hi there,

    Im sure Im missing something very obvious.. however Im going to ask anyways!

    Im using the Lifestyle theme and can't figure out how to individualize the sidebar widget content for different categories, I see the option to pick the categories layout but not how to pic the widgets to be displayed. Ive set up the default layout as how Id like it to be displayed on the home page and thats fine but whenever I click onto the category its the same as the homepage and Id like to be able to customize it.
