using dynamic widgets

    Hi.
    Really like the theme/plugins so far as we develop a website for our Kiev, Ukraine high school basketball team. Have only worked with the rookie version and thinking of upgrading. But before I do I have a couple of questions:

    I want to use dynamic widgets on individual player pages (and staff pages for that matter) but I don’t see that option. I can only set a widget for all player (or staff) pages and not individual ones.

    For instance… I want to embed a video (or use a instagram feed) of each play on their profile. Here is an example – http://kozakbasketball.kis.net.ua/player/ishaan-jassal/

    Looks great, right?! But only option now is for video to show up on all player pages.

    Thanks and look forward to your help.

    David

    @davidconover Good question! I recommend installing the Simple Page Sidebars plugin, which will give you the option to create unique sidebars for each player and staff profile.

    Thanks Brian for getting back to me.

    Doesn’t seem to work (could be user error) for players or coaches. Perhaps because those are special post pages? It only give me an option to select sidebar widgets based on category like ‘position’ or ‘job’.

    Help!

    @davidconover Try adding this to the theme’s functions.php:

    function myprefix_init() {
	add_post_type_support( 'sp_player', 'simple-page-sidebars' );
	add_post_type_support( 'sp_staff', 'simple-page-sidebars' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'myprefix_init' );

    Brian… I got it fixed. Thanks so much for your help. Sincerely!

    Mind if I ask another?

    As I create player profiles and use shortcodes to display on pages (the work around I used for sidebars)… the stats are inconsistent about showing up. Two examples:

    http://kozakbasketball.kis.net.ua/dallin-packer
    (only career totals show up)

    http://kozakbasketball.kis.net.ua/frane-vidosevic/
    (competitions but not career totals show up)

    The settings are 100% the same on both… not sure what is going on. Only happened after initial post and then edit.

    Thanks for all you do!

    David
