Manage and replace sidebars and other widget areas on your site with Custom Sidebars, a flexible widget area manager.
Make custom sidebar configurations and be able to choose what widgets display on each page or post of your site.
Need to make a widget sticky or fixed? Try our free WP Sticky Anything plugin.
Custom Sidebars works ONLY with the classic widgets screen that was used in WordPress before version 5.8. If you want to use it with version 5.8 (and above) you have to install the official Classic Widgets plugin, or enable the classic widgets interface yourself. Once the classic widgets screen is activated the plugin will work the same as before.

Custom Sidebars allows you to dynamically display custom widget configurations on any page, post, category, post type, or archive page.
