You might be interested in using my plugin. It is called Core Sidebars and it allows you to assign widgets / sidebar content to specific pages or posts. It has the dynamic sidebar capability that you are possibly looking for. Available at the WordPress directory .

The Widget Logic plugin gives every widget an extra control field called “Widget logic” that lets you control when the widget appears.

In the Admin/Design/Widget, all you need to do is type is_page('about') into that extra field of the desired widget.

I found a plugin called widget logic which does exactly that, it allows you to control when and how widgets are displayed. Check it out at – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/

You might also want to check out Daiko’ Text Widget as it will let you specify the pages you want it to show the content on. IT also supports PHP code

There’s also Sidebar Modules – http://nybblelabs.org.uk/projects/sidebar-modules/ – which is a replacement of the Widget functionality. It provides fairly granular control.

@ Jeff

There is a simple way to assign widgets to a particular page using conditional tags, refer to Codex. It gets better, you can create much more complex dynamic array funtions with 2.5.x, I have a “how to” with a demo on my site.

Sounds like what my Section Specific Text Widget was born to do

Just wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you for highlighting the various plugins which perform this duty. I didn’t know any of these existed.

As far as plugins are concerned, there are many that manage this idea in one form or another, as you can see by the comments here.

Personally, I try to avoid plugins wherever possible—which is why I share these simple code hacks as I implement them on WP Project.

…if I have an about page, and I have a contact page, is there a way to assign a widget to show up on the about page but not the contact page…

Yes, use is_page(‘contact’) or is_page(‘about’).

Thanks for the support Jeff.

This is really nice. I’ve seen a couple of complicate quality themes that did this, but I was wondering how to do it for my own these. Thanks
