Hey there netniks,
Hope you’re well today 🙂
I don’t think I understand your question. Custom Sidebars plugin works in a way that it replaces sidebars that are available in your theme in different locations.
For example if your theme has one sidebar, Custom Sidebars allows you to use different sidebars (different widgets in the sidebar) on different pages, posts, taxonomies and so on.
It does not offer custom functionality related to positioning and the styles of sidebars.
Hope this helps 🙂
Best regards,
Bojan
Hi Bojan,
That does help,… thanks! And thank you for responding so quickly. I hope that you’re doing well, too.
I imagine that if my components were to be contained in widgets, then I could compose a sidebar like that in my pdf by using your Custom Sidebars plugin.
Since I’m more in need of a customized sidebar, would you have a suggestion of what I could do to accomplish my goal?
I have some CSS and HTML skills, and could develop the sidebar as a separate thing, but integrating it into my WordPress theme is pretty foreign to me.
Thanks again and best regards,
Todd
Hey again Todd,
This is not a matter of creating a sidebar, but rather widgets that will allow you to have that kind of functionality.
