<p>Want to display different widgets on a particular page only?</p>
<p>If you install this plugin, you can create a widget area(sidebar) and replace or concatenate it with an existing widget area.</p>
<p>You can create a new widget area without touching the theme.<br />
You can display the created widget area by specifying a specific page, category, or tag.</p>
<h3>How To Use</h3>
<ol>
<li>Create a widget area in <code>Appearance > Widget Areas</code></li>
<li>Put the widget in the created widget area through <code>Appearance > Widgets</code> menu in WordPress</li>
</ol>
<h3>Description of settings</h3>
<p>A description of the widget area post type settings.</p>
<h3>Sidebar Definitions</h3>
<p>Each corresponds to the argument of the register_sidebar().</p>
<pre><code>register_sidebar(array(
    'name'          => Name
    'description'   => Description
    'class'         => Class
    'before_widget' => Before/After Widget
    'after_widget'  => Before/After Widget
    'before_title'  => Before/After Widget Title, Title Class
    'after_title'   => Before/After Widget Title
));
</code></pre>
<h3>Display</h3>
<h3>Action</h3>
<p>Manual, Merge, Replace<br />
There are three options for setting the display position: Manual, Merge, Replace.</p>
<h3>Target Widget</h3>
<p>If you select Merge or Replace in the Action, it is the setting for which widget area to perform the action.</p>
<h3>Position</h3>
<p>If you select Merge in the Action, it is the setting to display before or after the widget area.</p>
<p>Example 1<br />
Action: Merge<br />
Target widget: Home page<br />
Position: After<br />
Then, this widget area will be displayed after the home page widget area.</p>
<p>Example 2<br />
Action: Replace<br />
Target Widget: Sidebar<br />
Then this widget area will be displayed instead of the sidebar widget area.</p>
<p>However, if you keep Example 2, the sidebar will be replaced on all pages.<br />
Therefore, set the condition in the Conditions meta box.</p>
<h3>Conditions</h3>
<p>It is a condition that the widget area is displayed.<br />
You can specify the post ID on the “Post” tab and the category on the “Term” tab.</p>
<p>For example, under the condition of Example 2, further<br />
Visibility Range: Select Pages<br />
Posts & Pages: 98765<br />
Then, only the sidebar of the post with post ID 98765 can display this widget area instead of the sidebar widget area.</p>
<p>Also, under the conditions of Example 2.<br />
Visibility Range: Select Pages<br />
Term: Uncategorized<br />
Then, only articles belonging to the uncategorized category can display this widget area instead of the sidebar widget area.</p>
<p>The other two are for the action “Manual”.</p>
<h3>PHP Code</h3>
<p>This widget area will be displayed where this code is located.<br />
It is supposed to be used by pasting it on the theme.</p>
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
<p>This widget area will be displayed where this code is located.<br />
You can use it anywhere, such as articles and custom HTML for widgets.</p>
