Done. Thank you again for your help, Joachim.

Thank you, Joachim, this worked. I really appreciate your help.

Is this what you mean when you refer to “creating a Pod that “mimics” a custom post type”?

Thank you for taking the time to reproduce and look into this, Joachim, I really do appreciate it.

The reason I’m using a Pods Page is because as far as I could tell, it was the simplest way to display “pod” custom post type information.

I do see an option in the Pods plugin referring to “Templates”. Is this what you mean by “creating a Pod that “mimics” a custom post type”?

I really appreciate your reply, Joachim. My intention behind posting the plugin review was to provide honest feedback about my experience in attempting to implement the Content Aware Sidebars plugin and it appears that in this case, my assessment was posted too hastily, given your response. For this I apologize.

It was a big oversight on my part to not have noticed the grey ANDs between each set of criteria and my (false) assumption was that the criteria was OR based.

I was able to get the sidebar replaced for pages and posts by not for page templates (Page Templates: Character detail page). I’m not sure why, given the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> call.

I really do appreciate your help and I’m certainly willing to pay for it if you will allow.

I’m using a MultiSite setup so I created a fresh site, activated the Content Aware Plugin, added a new Group which applied to everything (pages, posts, etc.) but the sidebar is not being replaced under any circumstances.

My WordPress version is 4.3.1.

Thank you for your prompt reply, Joachim, I really appreciate it.

I initially created a custom post type (character) using the Pods plugin. Then I associated it with a page template (https://rogerramjet.com/character/roger-ramjet).

This is the code of the page template:

Because this didn’t work, I thought there might be an issue specific to the Pods plugin so I changed the Group criteria to include everything (Static Pages, Pages, Posts … etc).

When I visit the either the Pod page or the sample HTML page the default sidebar is still there and hasn’t been replaced.

So it doesn’t look as though the custom sidebar is replacing any instance at all (Pod page, regular page, post, …) and I’m not sure why.
