If you have ever needed to accommodate a client’s request to have separate widget areas for many sections of the site, you understand the need for this plugin.
This plugin alleviates the pain of having many sidebar widget areas by hiding all but one (that is selectable via a dropdown). Gone are the days of trying to drag a new widget from the left column to a widget area at the bottom of the right column (ugh!).
There is no configuration for this plugin.

Multiple Sidebar Generator Plugin to easily create many custom sidebars. These sidebars can then select in the creation of a post / page / custom post type. We give an order, and select several at once.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Add Multi Widget Sidebar.</li>
<li>Select Different Sidebar in Page/ Post/Costom Posts</li>
<li>Display in Appearance Options.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Advanced Usage</h4>
If you want to assign custom sidebars to archive pages or replace multiple sidebars per page, this plugin likely won’t be the best solution. However it’s flexible enough to handle a wide range of page-based use cases. It can even be configured to work with Custom Post Types by adding a couple lines of code:
<pre><code>function myprefix_init() {
 add_post_type_support( '{{post_type}}', 'multiple-sidebar-generator' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'myprefix_init' );
</code></pre>

Multiple Sidebar Generator

Easily assign custom, widget-enabled sidebars to any page.
