Content Aware Sidebars – Fastest Widget Area Plugin

Display new sidebars on any post, page, category etc. Works with Classic Widgets, Block Widgets, and all themes!

Sumit Singh

<p><em>Classic Widgets with Block-based Widgets</em> allows you to use both widgets screens at the same time.<br />
Sometimes, you need to use the classic widget screen for some of the widgets without permanently disabling the block-based widgets. With this plugin, you can access the Classic Widgets screen in <code>Appearance > Classic Widgets</code> and the block-based screen at the usual place in <code>Appearance > Widgets</code>.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:-</strong><br />
This plugin uses WordPress filters to create a new classic widget screen. That means it will work as long as WordPress supports the Classic Widgets screen.</p>

Restore the classic widgets screen as a new menu item without replacing new block-based widgets.
