Sidebars

Create sidebars through an admin interface and apply widgets. Using conditions, apply the sidebars to certain pages / posts depending on what you select.

Versions

1. Version 1.0 – Initial Release
2. Version 1.1 – Passed slug to dynamic_sidebar at end of control mechanism (lost in original changes)

1. Upload the entire folder of the plugin (‘sidebars’ folder) to your plugins directory (‘/wp-content/plugins/’ folder).
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. A new item on the menu will appeared that says ‘Sidebars’.
4. Also, in your template files, location the function dynamic_sidebar and replace it with go_sidebar. The dynamic_sidebar function could be anywhere but it will mostly likely be in the sidebar.php file.

In what order do the conditions apply?

1. The ID of the post / page
2. The parent of the post / page
3. The category of the post / page
4. Get the default sidebar

Do you need any other template tags besides replacing dynamic_sidebar with go_sidebar?

No. As long as you replace dynamic_sidebar with go_sidebar it will work fine.

   The manage sidebars panel where you can delete or edit a sidebar.

2. 

   The add sidebars panel where you can add a new sidebar.
