    No Installation hassles and does indeed give you a good custom sidebar. It would be nice however if it could override certain theme options so that themes that don’t support certain locations for sidebars could be made to. So , if like me you had this in mind , you may want to research your widgetized areas of your theme first to see if this this plugin will do exactly what you want. Currently if your theme does not support a particular area of the page for widgets then you will not be able to use this plugin to add it to that particular location. At least not without coding as far as I know. Otherwise it’s been great.

    Hello there @tristanhann,

    really appreciate the review here. This is true indeed, as the scope of this plugin is to replace the widgets of a sidebar, sidebar that’s created and added strictly from active theme, with a new set of widgets, based on some conditionals.
    It can’t create new sidebar locations and/or force display them in templates of theme that don’t actually display them. As you’ve mentioned, this can be happened with a bit of custom coding via a child-theme, so you can display a sidebar in first place, then use our plugin to replace its widgets.
    If you need more assistance on this, feel free to open a new topic in our support threads here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-sidebars/ and we could have a look at it. Hopefully this will also lead you to change your rating into a 5-star one! 🙂

    Warm regards,
    Dimitris
