Easy way to have an individual sidebar for every page in Wordpress?

enigma2k · 05-06-2009, 08:34 AM

Hello,
Is there an easy way to have for every page an individual content in the sidebar?
maybe a plugin that can handle this?

You will have to code the sidebar of the wordpress template.

It will be like.

if (page is home){

echo "something";...........

Something like that.

I read a blog posts like this few days ago but dont really remember.

Thanks and Regards

Yeah it will require you to dip into the code a little bit as far as I know. But there are a couple of different ways you can do it.

Is it literally different 'pages' that you want different sidebars to show up for? As in, you create a new 'page' that shows up on your menu, and then you want a different sidebar for each.

Or, is it different categories of posts etc that you want different sidebars?

I can run you through some different techniques for each. Different methods will be more efficient depending on exactly what your after.

If you know HTML and PHP coding very well then it won't be to big of a problem.

You have to include php include files that have your specific sidebars already created.

With the sidebar it's not so easy...

Wordpress gives you two possibilities to divide pages:
- Type of page - for example - static page (page.php), post (single.php) category (category.php) etc.
- Page templates (only for pages or posts).

You can have different sidebars for both of the kinds but you cannot have a different sidebar for every post for example.

For more information look in the Wordpress Codex.
