# 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/](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/](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](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/](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; } }
