 * 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://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/](https://wordpress.org/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/](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.
