Can I Do This?

    I’m trying to build a site with different businesses profiled… one page per business and I’d like to use a plugin or something to add contact info and a google map in the sidebar of each unique business. Can I do this with this plugin? If I can, I can’t seem to figure out how since all I can get it to do is display the same info on every page with a sidebar.
    I can add that I can create the unique location but it shows up as a post rather than a page… and the business card displays on the bottom of the post instead of the sidebar. I’ve tried adding the widget but regardless if I check all the boxes or leave them blank, it doesn’t seem to have an effect on the post.
    If I can’t do it with this plugin, is there one I can use that will allow me to do this?
    Thanks to all

    Hi @revdarkwing,

    You won’t get what you want out-of-the-box with this plugin, unless maybe if you were deploying an army of plugins to hack your way to what you want. There are, for instance, plugins which allow you to show widgets conditionally on pages, you can use the [contact-card location=123] shortcode to add content to pages, and use a page builder or other tool to drop in different content arranged differently on each page.

    But in the end you’d have spent a lot of time patching these things together with bits of string, and you’d likely have a slow website prone to falling apart.

    What you want to do would be fairly easy with a little bit of custom development work. I’d encourage you to reach out to codeable.io. They match custom projects like this with qualified freelancers at pretty reasonable rates.
