Add Sidebar to Display per Page in a Custom Theme

which theme you are using. through coding that easily possible.

I am using a theme called TheSource by ElegantThemes.com

The dev site is here: https://spurradio.net/

I want to create a sidebar for each of the following pages so we can assign specific ads to specific pages.

Spur Radio Live
Talkin w Tana Show
Womens Ranch Rodeo Association
etc.

Give a try to the custom sidebars plugin

without coding you will be able to create and assign new sidebars to your posts and pages.

Hi Brian,

I am trying to use your plugin per-page-sidebars to display different sidebar per page, I am using twenty ten theme. I followed exact instructions, Activated Customer Sidebar to replace the primary widget area, and then created Customer sidebar for the specific page, everything seems fine. When I finally view that particular page, it does not diaplay the customer sidebar I created, it still displays the old sidebar.

Please advise, what did I miss? Is this plugin still working?

Thanks

Hi Marquex

I just installed Custom Sidebar plugin today, I am using twenty ten theme. It works for all pages except the post page, same issue with per-page-sidebar plugin.

Is this a known issue. Please advise how to fix it.

Thanks

Hi Fan_Buss, if you are not getting the sidebar in a single post, you can define it in the new post or edit post screen.

If you are not getting it in your blog page, have a look at the default sidebars inside the custom sidebars options.

marquex, I built a theme based on MNML 1.3 by Ian Stewart, and I can’t seem to get the custom sidebars plugin to work with it. It won’t replace the main sidebar. And when it’s activated, it actually removes all the widgets from that sidebar. I’ve tried it with other themes applied to a test blog and love how the plug in works, but I can’t seem to get it to work for my theme or MNML. Can you help? My site is jasonluckett.com.

Thanks!

When you create a new page, there will be box below it asking which sidebar to replace.

Click the check box beside the sidebar you want to replace.

save the post.

Then on the widgets page, you will see a new sidebar with the name of that page. Drag the widgets that you desire onto there.

Thanks for the quick reply, Brian. But I’m still not able to get it to work with my theme. Here is the code for what I think are the relevant parts:

And for the sidebar.php:

Can you see anything that might be missing in the theme that would cause the custom sidebars not to function?

Thanks for any help.

No it’s all pretty standard.

Did you see the new sidebar on the widgets page? It would start with the word “Custom” and did you put at least widgets on it?

Thanks, Brian!

Your plugin does the trick! Though I confess, I was actually using the other plugin when I asked the question.

Is there anyway to streamline the process to add the same sidebar to many pages/posts/categories? Maybe in Quick Edit or something like that? I know it’s called “page per sidebar,” so maybe the answer is “no.” ?? But I’ve got a lot of pages and would like to have the same sidebar on different groups.

I really appreciate your work and replies.

Cheers,

Jason
