Custom Sidebar Manager 1.1.8

Custom Sidebar Manager is a WordPress plugin that helps you create unlimited custom sidebars and control exactly where they appear. Instead of relying on fixed theme layouts, you can apply conditional logic to both sidebars and widgets, so your content matches the page type, post format, language, or even the active theme.

It adds a clean, white-label admin experience and keeps management lightweight, with the interface located in WP-admin under Appearance → Sidebars. Updates are handled directly from WP-admin → Dashboard → Updates, making it easy to stay current while keeping layouts consistent across your site.

Main Features

• Unlimited custom sidebars — Create as many sidebars as you need, each configured with its own set of rules.
• Conditional logic for sidebars — Show a sidebar only on selected posts, pages, post formats, or other conditions.
• Unlimited conditions per sidebar — Combine multiple rules within a single sidebar configuration.
• Theme-based display rules — Limit sidebar visibility to a specific theme when you switch between themes.
• WPML support for language targeting — Apply conditions based on the active language using WPML.
• Conditional logic for widgets — Control widget visibility separately, such as showing a widget only on mobile or only in a specific language version.
• White label admin — Manage sidebars without advertising or third-party branding in the WP admin area.
• Compact in WP-admin workflow — Manage everything directly via WP-admin → Appearance → Sidebars.
• Native one-click updates — Update from WP-admin → Dashboard → Updates without requiring extra steps inside WordPress.

Benefits

• More precise layouts — Conditional sidebars and widgets ensure the right content appears on the right pages.
• Better UX consistency — Different sections (posts, pages, languages, mobile views) stay organized without manual theme edits.
• Higher conversions — Context-specific widgets can be targeted to user intent across key templates like blog or homepage.
• Reduced maintenance — One-click updates and a straightforward WP-admin interface simplify ongoing management.
• Scalable configuration — Unlimited sidebars and conditions support growing sites with multiple content types and variations.
