Customizing the Widgets area

    I’m using LifeStyle Pro theme and for my site, I make a customized sidebar (using Genesis Simple Sidebars) for every post on my site. This allows me to then put whatever I want in the sidebar of each post.

    However, because I now have 50+ posts on my site, I now have 50+ custom sidebars in my Appearance/Widgets area. Each new sidebar is added to the bottom of the list of sidebars and with so many sidebars, it’s become increasingly difficult to drag and drop the widgets I want into the new sidebars.

    I’m looking for a plugin that will help me manage the sidebars or organize them so that the new sidebars I create will be at the top of the list, not at the bottom. This would put them a lot closer to the Available Widgets area and would make dragging and dropping the widgets into the sidebars much easier.

    Does anyone know of a plugin that will help me do this?

    hi , not sure if the problem is already solved. you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/ to manage widgets using single widget area at bottom.

    I have a Recent-Posts widget in this, and I want the links to have the color other than white, cuzz the background-color is white.
    The reason why it’s white is because in my navigation bar, the link-colors are set to white.

    If I want to change it to another color, by example red, it only affects when I set a:link, a:visited > red!important…
    but it changes ALL the links … Oo

    How can I just change the link colors in the widget?

    hi, you can use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-css-classes/ to achieve that. set the css class for that widget and add css targeting that widget class.

    i’m not sure if you mean for whole widget area widgets or just that Recent-Post widget.
    if you meant for whole widget in that widget area. then you should set the widget area class ( click advance link and the you will see this http://screencast.com/t/K5tOwBgm ) ,then set the widget class “your-widget-class”. now add css like:
    .your-widget-class a{
    a:visited{
    color: red !important;
    }
    }

    if you meant for individual widget in that widget area, then install https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-css-classes/ , set class for individual widget and add css like:

    .your-individual-widget-class a{
    a:visited{
    color: red !important;
    }
    }
