A plugin that allows you to have a sidebar for content on each individual page.<\/p>\n\n

Legacy<\/h3>\n\n

Page Sidebars was my second Wordpress plugin (the first to serve a real purpose).<\/p>\n\n

For the first version, the code was useful but not improved upon. It did it's job, without any fancy features.<\/p>\n\n

For the second version, I reconfigured this plugin a lot to include widget sidebars, but I had to overload it because Wordpress did not support some of the functions I needed yet. I also deviated too much from the original purpose of the plugin.<\/p>\n\n

For version 2.5, I drafted this plugin back to it's original purpose: to serve sidebar content for each individual page. I corrected a lot of my techniques and formed new philosophies about my plugins. This is why widget support was dropped in favor of a smooth, fast-running, single-purpose plugin and without the template files editing.<\/p>\n\n\n

Download and unzip the file with your favorite ZIP extractor. Upload the page-sidebars.php file to \/wp-content\/plugins\/. Activate the plugin and you are ready. For more detailed instruction follow these details:<\/p>\n\n

    \n

  1. Upload the file page-sidebars.php into your Wordpress directory under \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/p><\/li>\n

  2. Open your administration panel, go to Plugins, and activate it by clicking Activate next to the description of Page Sidebars.<\/p><\/li>\n

  3. You are now able to begin using the plugin. Go to [Pages] and select an existing page or write a new page. You will find a box named Page Sidebars. Enter the sidebar content in those two boxes (title & content).<\/p><\/li>\n

  4. To display the sidebar, add the widget Page Sidebars to one of your theme's sidebars (that displays on a page) [Appearance > Widgets].<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    The following are FAQ that have been asked on my site or that I find people might confuse. If you need any more help, or have questions, feel free to contact me on my site.<\/p>\n

    How do I add Page Sidebars widget to multiple sidebars?<\/dt>\n

    Open up the page-sidebars.php with your favorite text editor or through the built in plugin editor (Plugins > Page Sidebars row > Edit). In the code right below the plugin information, it says #MULTI-WIDGET Support and then below it it says $widgets_amount = 1. Change it to however many sidebars you need the Page Sidebars widget on.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Do you support a widget sidebar for each page?<\/dt>\n

    With version 2.5, no, Page Sidebars is no longer widget-enabled. See Legacy tab for the basis of my decision.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Do I have to add any template tags into my theme for this to work?<\/dt>\n

    No. All you have to do is add a widget to once of your existing sidebars in your theme (as long as that sidebar shows up on a page as well).<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>","raw_excerpt":"A small but useful plugin to have unique sidebars for each page.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/2461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2461"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/danielnexterous"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=2461"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=2461"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=2461"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=2461"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=2461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
