I am not sure which plugin is best… but to do it by hand, open your sidebar.php file, if you haven’t changed the graphene theme’s sidebar, it should be lines 18 and 19.
Line 18 is an if statement… if(!is_front_page() && is_active_sidebar…)
Line 19 should be: dynamic_sidebar(‘sidebar-widget-area’);
Comment the line out //dynamic_sidebar(‘sidebar-widget-area’);
Below it, add: (edited)
if ( is_page() && is_active_sidebar('pages-widget-area') ) { dynamic_sidebar('pages-widget-area'); }
if ( is_single() && is_active_sidebar('posts-widget-area') ) { dynamic_sidebar('posts-widget-area'); }
Then open the functions.php file, about midway down is the function: graphene_widgets_init()
Just above the first register_sidebar, add the lines below:
register_sidebar(array('name' => 'Pages Widget Area' , 'id' => 'pages-widget-area' , 'description' => 'Define Widgets' , 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="sidebar-wrap clearfix %2$s">' , 'after_widget' => '</div>' , 'before_title' => '<h3>' , 'after_title' => '</h3>',));
register_sidebar(array('name' => 'Posts Widget Area' , 'id' => 'posts-widget-area' , 'description' => 'Define Widgets' , 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="sidebar-wrap clearfix %2$s">' , 'after_widget' => '</div>' , 'before_title' => '<h3>' , 'after_title' => '</h3>',));
And if that all works… you should have two new widgets in the Appearance admin, named Pages Widget Area and Posts Widget Area.
