Sidebars

[Nick Statt]

Is there any way to make certain sidebars active for certain pages? I have basically three posts and I want to create sidebars to other two on each respective page, but I’m only able to set the featured page widget to all posts or all pages, meaning the sidebar to the page you’re currently viewing will show still show up. Is there any way do to make this work so that each page can view the other two as sidebars?

Thanks!

You can do that with a plugin called Widget Logic. It adds a small box to each widget that you can use to specify where that widget will be visible. It works inside of where that sidebar is normally visible.

Here’s what the box looks like:

To make a widget appear on a page called contact, you’d use is_page(‘contact’) in the widget logic box. There are lots of options on the conditional logic page of the WordPress Codex that you can use.

Let me know if you have any questions or trouble.

Excellent! That worked perfectly. Thanks again.
