GREAT
by programmerdancuk·10 years ago

This plugin is exactly what I want

Useful plugin – but would like to be able to edit widget title
by perryb·10 years ago

This is a really useful plug in. The one thing I really would like to have at my disposal from the off would be the ability to edit the widget title (e.g. “PPS-page-slug” makes it slightly less user friendly in my view) and perhaps a note in Widget admin to say which widget is being replaced.

Great stuff though!

Great for organizing large sites
by dmnelson·12 years ago

I run a site for a large organization, with a child theme based on Thematic. I use the main menu for site-wide navigation. Then I use Per Page Sidebars to put department-specific custom menus in Primary Aside. Very handy in conjunction with plugins that let you limit who can edit which pages and menus, such as Role Scoper or Press Permit.

Simple and effective
by ochado·12 years ago

This was just what I was looking for. It lets me give each individual page (or post!) its customized sidebar. Thatnks for creating the plugin!

Good plugin, sould be extended to cover custom post types
by slurm23·12 years ago

Very useful plugin for more complex websites. Works well with WP pages, but would be much more useful if it could utilize custom post types as well.

I haven’t disabled it yet, but it definitely shouldn’t wipe clean the previously configured widgets. Especially with text widgets utilizing JS or PHP this could lead to losing a lot of work. Please fix if this issue is replicable!
