 * Hi, i’m struggeling with one challenge to do in my custom theme. I want to have
   content specific controls in my Theme Customizer. I know there is option “active_callback”,
   but this is not sufficient for my purpose and i read 2 documentation articles
   about customizer and this [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/07/08/customizer-improvements-in-4-0/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/07/08/customizer-improvements-in-4-0/)
   article, but still have no clue, here is what i want to achieve:
 * For example, i want to have “show sidebar” checkbox, but this checkbox should
   be more contextual specifix. For example, when i will be on homepage, there will
   be just one checkbox as “Show sidebar default” but when i will go into some post,
   i want there 3 checkboxes:
 * 1. “Show sidebar default” – id=”show_sidebar”
    2. “Show sidebar in Post archive
   page” – id=”show_sidebar_archive_{post_type}” 3. “Show sidebar for this post”–
   id=”show_sidebar_singular_{post_id}”
 * So when i want to have this kind of specific IDs for control, just active_callback
   is not enought, becauce it can just show/hide controls, i can’t create new when
   URL in iframe changes.
 * There could be 2 sollutions:
    1. Better – when i could somehow create/remove 
   controls by context, it would be best solution. If it’s somehow possible with
   customizer API, give me som hint please 2. Not good, but sufficient – is at least
   possible somehow reload whole /wp-admin/customize.php?url= with new clicked url?
   this could be enought for a while
 * thx for any advices!
