Description
Custom Sidebars Pro replaces the default WordPress sidebar with custom sidebars on each page, post, category, or content type, creating independent widget areas that appear only where you specify. Configuration takes place directly in each content editor and in category panels, without needing to modify theme files or create conditionals in functions.php, serving those who need contextual widgets for each site section.
