 * Is adding one or two extra sidebars to a default theme easy? or plugins are needed?
   For example how can I add one or two sidebars to 2021 theme?

 * Hello [@ketanco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ketanco/)
    You can create
   sidebar using this code copy in your active themes function.php file.
 *     ```
       function wpb_init_widgets_custom($id) {
       register_sidebar(array(
       'name' => 'Customsidebar-1',
       'id' => 'customsidebar-id',
       'before_widget' => '<div class="sidebar-module">',
       'after_widget' => '</div>',
       'before_title' => '<h4>',
       'after_title' => '</h4>'
       ));
       }
       add_action('widgets_init','wpb_init_widgets_custom');
       ```
   
 * OR.
    You can use this plugin for create extra sidebar. [https://www.greengeeks.in/tutorials/custom-sidebar-wordpress-theme/](https://www.greengeeks.in/tutorials/custom-sidebar-wordpress-theme/)
