Description

Custom Sidebar Manager creates and assigns custom sidebars for different pages, posts, categories, and WordPress content types, replacing the theme’s default sidebar according to conditional rules set in the admin panel. It is aimed at those who need to display distinct widgets in specific site sections, such as blog, store, institutional pages, or landing pages, without editing theme files or relying on a developer to adjust the sidebar area.
