Normally you have a sidebar that appears throughout the website. However, sometimes it is necessary to display a relevant, different sidebar on certain pages on the website. For an example: on WooCommerce pages, a sidebar with related or top seller products would be more relevant than the latest comments, blog posts right?
This plugin helps you solve that problem as it allows you to create new sidebars and display them conditionally on certain locations of the website easily. Once the sidebar is created and displayed on pages you like, you can add relevant widgets in it.

Had it for years, always worked perfectly
Very helpful plugin and thank you to the developers!!!
It took jut a few moments to figure out how to use this plugin (just follow the instructions), but then it was very easy. And it allows us to personalize our site to a much greater degree than ever before. We use it most in conjunction with Product Filter by WBW plugin because we have many products and many categories–and as a customer navigates our site, we want certain filters to appear on ceratin pages. This Sidebar plugin made that super easy.
Hi there!
I wanted to try this pluging after some reviews but to my unfortunate, the website where I installed this plugin is not opening after installation.
One of these simple things WordPress doesn’t offer yet. This plugin works and is easy to use.
