Using "Custom Post Widget"
-
I have been tearing my hair out over the last 24Hours trying to find a plugin that will allow me to have a specific/customised sidebar (widget) for each post I write. There seemds to be plenty if you know coding ( I don’t).
I need a wysiwyg editor that I can add links to such as affiliate or other that display images too.
I thought I had solved the problem when I found “Custom POst widget”
How do I get individually created widgets to appear on a specific post?

Hi Grego99,
My preferred plugin for assigning widgets to specific pages is the Widget Logic plugin because it is very lightweight: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/widget-logic/
If you prefer a non-code method you can try Widget Visibility which comes with the Jetpack plugin: https://jetpack.me/support/widget-visibility/
Hi Johan
Thanks for getting back to me. After I sent the email to you I found the Logic widget and managed to work it out with the short code. So again thank you.However I have one other problem I’m hoping you may be able to help me with?
Part of the reason I wanted to have different sidebar information on different posts and pages was that I want to monetise the posts by placing relevant affiliate links in each post.
So as an example I have a post on iphone photography and want to have a Amazon associate advertisement in the sidebar that is relevant to that post.
My problem is how do I copy the Amazon code and paste it into a content box so it works correctly?
I have copyed the code. It was an “Iframe”. (the code included an image which I want to appear in the sidebar) (banner), However it does not appear to be working properly. as all that appears on the post sidebar is a copy of the code I pasted into the content box and not the image with affiliate link.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?Make sure you paste the code in the editor while you are in ‘Text’ view because it does not work when you use the WYSIWYG editor.
