This is a nice plugin in terms of lightweight and easy to configure however when I go to input the side bar in a Divi Page it will not stick. The builder pulls the sidebar in but once I leave the visual builder the sidebar disappears. I’ve tried various settings and it doesn’t seem to bring it in
]]>Tight integration of Lightweight Sidebar Manager (By Brainstorm Force) and FileBird – WordPress Media Library Folders (By NinjaTeam) was previously implemented:
- In FileBird, we have enabled the creation of categories for WordPress pages.
- Display On: PageCategory – Fbv pt tax page (Singulars) could be added to the display conditions of the created sidebars.
We were then able to assign a specific sidebar to a FileBird Page Category.
However, this assignment option was suddenly terminated.
Previously recorded such associations are visible, but new ones cannot be created.
Which of the two plugins needs to be modified to make this feature available again?
thanks,
Tibor
I cannot get the sidebar replacement to work properly in the second language of the site. I use WPML to translate the site. I asked WPML support to help me but they were unable to give me any indication. How can I solve the problem? Thanks
]]>Hi
I’ve been trying to choose multiple items, but after every selection it returns to the top of the list and sometimes we have over 30 items to select. Is there a way to keep the list screen from resetting to the top?
Thanks Rob
]]>About 50% of the time, when I click links in the sidebar, they load with parameters that look like this:
?customize_changeset_uuid=65a251e4-45e4-4e49-b0cc-fdca99c75566&customize_autosaved=on
This is causing load errors.
I also sometimes get this error text when I click the links:
“Unauthorized. You may remove the customize_messenger_channel param to preview as frontend.”
I’ve cleared every cache I can think of, tried on my mobile – it keeps happening.
It happens when I’m logged into wordpress AND logged out.
Do you have a solution?
Thanks.

]]>Hi,
When we select a category that has many siblings, is it possible to include those siblings in the selection criteria automatically – instead of having to select every child category, grandchild category etc…?
That would be really helpful on this very helpful plugin.
Many thanks…
Now, I’m using Teczilla Software Company theme for my website.
And I installed Sidebar Manager Plugin for different sidebars on each pages.
I configured sidebars for some pages and It works well.
And then I add sidebar for blog/posts page but It doesn’t display on blog / posts page.
I’ve attached some screenshots for better understanding.
Here are working well:

]]>Hello,
I am using the Sidebar Manager with WooCommerce and the Storefront theme.
I am using the Sidebar Manager to display the sidebar only in the blog posts area. However, I can only see the sidebar when logged into WordPress. So for the general public the sidebar is not displayed.
Does anyone have this issue or know how to fix this?
Thank you
]]>Hello. I have an issue. I can’t select a custom post type to show the sidebar. The option is missing. However, i have other custom post type and i can select it to show the sidebar. I have installed astra pro in my theme. In page headers all custom post types can be selected.
I attach screenshots.
WordPress last version with astra, astra pro and toolset installed.
Hello,
Firstly, I’d like to say that your plugin is very useful!
I’ve noticed that the plugin creates URLs and archives for custom sidebars. While this might be intended behavior, I believe it could be beneficial to prevent public querying and archiving for these custom sidebars by default. This would help in avoiding unnecessary URLs and potential SEO issues.
To address this on my end, I’ve added the following snippet:
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'modify_bsf_sidebar_cpt', 10, 2 );
function modify_bsf_sidebar_cpt( $args, $post_type ) {
if ( 'bsf-sidebar' === $post_type ) {
$args['publicly_queryable'] = false;
$args['has_archive'] = false;
}
return $args;
}
I thought it might be worth suggesting this as a potential enhancement to the plugin’s core functionality. It could provide a cleaner setup for users who might not want these sidebars to be publicly accessible.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Regards,

]]>Hi. I’m trying to display a sidebar menu with a custom post type but it’s not showing the correct menu. I have been using CPT UI plugin in conjunction with this sidebar plugin for years and haven’t had any issues until now. Is there any update or change that I need to be aware of?
]]>I see, that plugin supports to add rules to sidebars only.
It will be a nice function to select sidebar when editing posts or pages.
]]>Hello
I’m building a custom theme which has a very typical sidebar template but it doesn’t seem to work with your plugin. The sidebar works, the new widget area created with your plugin appears in the editor, but the original sidebar won’t change on the front-end.
Please let me know if you see something I’ve overlooked. Thank you.
functions.phpfunction register_widget_area2() {
register_sidebar(
array(
'id' => 'global-sidebar',
'name' => esc_html__( 'Global Sidebar', 'theme_name' ),
'description' => esc_html__( 'Add widgets and menus to any page.', 'theme_name' ),
'before_widget' => '<div class="spacer clear></div><li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</li>',
'before_title' => '<h4 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h4>'

In my template:echo '<div class="col-sm-3">';
get_sidebar('global-sidebar');

Hi there,
Is there an easy way to migrate from woosidebars (no longer supported).
Including all translations (wpml), content & locations?
Thanks for the info!
]]>Hi, I have some custom posts created with CPT-UI plugin.
When I try to create a specific sidebar for them, the are not displayed in the field “Display on”.
I just read these threads: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/not-all-custom-post-types-in-display-on-field-are-displayed/ and https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/custom-post-type-doesnt-show-up/
Even with a taxonomy, it doesn’t work for me. Furthermore, it’s not practical it works that way.
In my opinion, it’s the main use of this plugin to replace sidebar for custom post type.
Regards.
]]>Hi, I am not entirely sure why the topic above was closed because it is still not resolved. I was hoping to find a solution to this frustrating issue. It is 2 years 5 month s since it was mentioned that a fix was coming.
I have exactly the same issue as described in the previous topic of the same name. The only way I can get all the posts from one category to display the sidebar is to add each and every article individually. This is a work around but when the client adds more posts, which are many, they also have to be added to the sidebar if and when I am aware of them. Obviously this means there are always some posts which do not have the side bars.
If this has not been fixed, is there an alternative that can be used with Astra to create different menus in the sidebars for each category.
Thank you
]]>Hello,
there seems to be a bug within the ?Display On“ selection, when ?Specific Pages / Posts / Taxonomies etc.“ is selected:
When I select ?All singulars from [category]“, after saving in the field it does say ?[category] – Category“.
It’s difficult to distinguish from ?[category] archive page“, because after saving, it does also say ?[category] – Category“.
It would be very useful to add ?single“ or ?archive“ to the final selection name to prevent confusion.
Idea:
It would be very useful to be able to select ?[category] and subcategories archive page“ and ?All singulars from [category] and subcategories“ (and maybe generally for all hierarchical taxonomies). Because now I have to edit the sidebar settings, everytime I add a category.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Where do you select Left Or Right Sidebar?
I do not see where we can select Left or Right sidebar.
I would like it to be Left so I can see it on the left with our default WP sidebar on the right on our Woo Shop page.
]]>I am using Elementor – Astra theme, with sidebar manager.
The widgets in the custom sidebar on this page have bullet points. I eliminated the bullets on the main sidebar by entering a custom CSS class in the main sidebar widget: “is-style-logos-only”. However, when I add the same CSS class in the custom sidebar, the bullets still persist.
Any help would be appreciated, I am not proficient in CSS so step by step instructions would be appreciated!

I need some detailed instructions for how to use the Lightweight Sidebar Manager to create a unique sidebar for my bbpress forum. I have tried at some length to get the LSM plugin to work for this purpose, but have been unsuccessful thus far.
Note: I currently have a unique sidebar on my bbpress forum by using these plugins:
bbPress WP Tweaks,
Content Aware Sidebars,
Page Sidebar for Twenty-Seventeen
You can see the working sidebar at the link provided below.
I have reasons for wanting to change to the Lightweight Sidebar Manager if I can.
Any help would be appreciated.
]]>Hi, first of all thanks for your reply. I’m working with Gutenberg. I want the sidebar always show except for specific pages. I configure a sidebar in your plugin with the following data:
Sidebar to replace: my sidebar
description: foobar
display on: entire website
do not display: specific page / my page (Found ok!)
user roles: all
everything is fine but the specific page still shows the sidebar that i want to hide.
Thanks in advance.
I think this plugin could display a different sidebar on a parent page and all of its children automatically. I might be missing something.
I selected “Specific Pages / Posts / taxonomies” and added my parent page. But it’s only showing on my parent page. Not the child pages?
Do I have to add ALL of the child Pages?
]]>I have installed the plugin to show sidebar in post page and post category page.

May I know how to set the sidebar visible in category page too?
Hello,
I have the free version of Astra theme on WordPress. I use Elementor on my Pages and block editor for posts.
