Background and goals of this plugin<\/h4>\n\n

Part of offering WordPress as a CMS to my clients involves giving them as much control over the future of their website as possible. One pitfall I experience is offering per-page sidebar customization.<\/p>\n\n

Sidebar templates and conditionals<\/h4>\n\n

I find myself creating several sidebar-name.php templates and using conditionals to display them where I want. Functions like is_page(), is_tree(), is_ancestor(), is_single(), etc. let me plan ahead for which sidebars should show on which pages. However, is_page(14) is not an acceptable solution for me, nor does it truly allow customizing sidebar output for pages created in the future outside the scope of my preemptive conditionals.<\/p>\n\n

Page-specific blocks of content in the sidebar<\/h4>\n\n

Per Page Sidebar Blocks lets you, the theme developer, create several sidebar templates using WordPress\u2019 naming convention sidebar-name.php.<\/p>\n\n

Automatically finds your sidebar templates<\/h4>\n\n

PPSB will scan the current theme\u2019s root directory for all your sidebar templates and let you decide which ones get displayed on each individual page by simply checking a box on that page\u2019s Edit area.<\/p>\n\n

Known Bugs<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  1. If you create a new page and check some PPSB boxes, the checks will not save if the page is published. You must check the boxes after the page is published and save again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Upload the 'per-page-sidebars' folder to the '\/wp-content\/plugins\/' directory<\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
    3. Put the following code into your sidebar.php file: <?php if( function_exists( 'ppsb_show_sidebars' ) ) echo ppsb_show_sidebars(); ?><\/li>\n
    4. Create necessary sidebar templates using WordPress' naming convention sidebar-name.php<\/li>\n
    5. Specify display order of sidebars in Settings > Per Page Sidebar Blocks<\/li>\n
    6. Check boxes in page editor to display those sidebars<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      Why is this sidebar plugin different?<\/dt>\n

      Instead of simply letting you select a full sidebar for a page (which you could certainly setup using this plugin), I go a step further and let you create different blocks of content. Let\u2019s say your client has a list of Company Partner\u2019s logos, and they want to list them on the About and Services pages. Rather than create a specific sidebar for each of those pages, create a sidebar-partners.php block and just enable it on every page it\u2019s needed; use sidebar templates as building blocks to customize sidebar content as needed.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
