How to not refresh the sidebar at every page load ?

  • Is it possible to stop the sidebar, or maybe one widget in it, to not refresh every time a page is loaded ?

    Having a music player in the sidebar, changing article or browsing pages make it stops.

    Or… what would be the best way to play music continuously while browsing the blog ?

    Thanks,

  • you would have to use iframes, frames, or AJAX, to avoid it.

    WordPress is not built to NOT refresh the sidebar on every page load. it’s just like any other static site, it has to refresh.

    otherwise, if all else fails, use flash and avoid WordPress altogether.

    otherwise, you’re stuck with a sidebar that loads each time.

    thanks for the answers Mr Dingman,

    iframe sounds good, should i have a html website with an iframe that contains the wp blog ?
    or is the iframe within the wp blog, and it won’t refresh ?

    ajax seems too complicated for a non programmer like me… but in case the iframe solution doesn’t work can you point me in one direction using ajax or flash ?

    thanks !

    How would you implement an iframe in wordpress that dosent refresh? Its near impossible it seems

    I had the exact same problem…. ??

    I gave up in the end. I have an old html website where i had an iframe which changed all the content pages while the main page stayed the same.

    In the end I just gave in as the advantages of WordPress were just too great not to switch

    Haven’t you guys heard of ajaxed wordpress? it’s sidebar does not refresh when you enable ajax post or page navigation, check it out!
