Just what I needed to have a custom sidebar by category

I tried a slew of other plugins that used category shortcodes for static pages, or incomplete solutions that left the category link pulling the default sidebar. None worked with WP built in categories just right, and we wanted a menu link to a category as well.

This did just exactly what we wanted. I created category-specific widgets and had them appear only on the specific category. Was able to hide others from that category as well. Wish I had found it sooner after wasting hours with others.

Simple and straight forward, just like a plugin should be.
Thanks!
