Are you tired of having the same sidebar throughout your WordPress blog or website? How would you like a customized sidebar just for your About Page?
With WooSidebars you can override any widgetized area on your WordPress-powered website, displaying different widgets for different pages, posts, post types, categories and more… without touching a line of code. And it works with any theme that uses dynamic sidebars.
In this video I not only show you how to install and setup this plugin, but I also give you ideas of how you might creatively use it on your own site.

This is great information Bob, thanks for sharing it. I always thought that one of the weaknesses of WordPress was the inability to customize the sidebars for a given page. I guess that’s the great thing about WP — when there’s a perceived problem, some smart folks somewhere will solve it.

You bet. And that’s so true, usually someone eventually finds a solution. In fact I know a couple of plugin developers who have often asked me if I hear of a need, let them know, and if it’s doable, they will jump on it. That’s what is so cool about the WordPress community
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi!. I am using Woocommerce plugin in my site. I have installed Woosidebars because my default sidebar doesn’t appear in my shop pages (shop, categories, products and so on). With this plugin installed a new tab turns up, called Woocommerce. There, I can choose the pages from my Shop. Nonetheless, it doesn’t work! It works for all the pages in my site except Woocommerce pages, even though this new Woocommerce tab was included in the Woosidebars menu!
Any suggestion?
Shoot, I haven’t worked with WooCommerce yet, but it’s on my list as it’s needed for an upcoming project. I’m just wondering if in WooCommerce there is some setting for a full page page?

What do you exactly mean with a full page page?
It’s just a thought. Or maybe I am just guessing what you are seeing. Is the pages you are unable to get it to work …. do they have a sidebar or are the full pages with no sidebar.

Woocommerce pages haven’t any sidebar by default, except Cart and chekout pages whose are called directly from the WordPress theme… What I want is to see my default sidebar in all my pages, even Wocommerce pages.
I agree.
The Genesis Simple Sidebars widget was just too irritating. On my present project I just could not get the all the different sidebars to show up, even though the sidebar ID’s correctly setup per page and post. So I moved away from a Genesis solution.
I installed WooSidebars and they just worked perfectly. All the sidebar selecter options are in one place.
Oh well!
Yeah, I know what you mean regarding WooSidebars being a bit more flexible.
