# Help with Custom Sidebars?

 * I’ve tried using the Custom Sidebar plugin, and I was able to create a sidebar
   for the About page — but the rest of the pages are displaying the default, and
   when I create another custom sidebar, everything goes weird; my footer sidebar
   suddenly tries to appear in my sidebar and it’s a mess.
 * Can anyone help me get to the awesome place where I can successfully have multiple
   custom sidebars?
 * See [keysdiver.shellsinthekeys.com](http://keysdiver.shellsinthekeys.com)
 * Thanks!

 * Try “display widgets”.

 * …you know that moment when the answer to your question is so ridiculously simple
   that you feel really, really kind of silly?
 * Yeahhhhh. 🙂 Thank you so much.
 * Wonder if you know…would this affect SEO at all because elements are being hidden?

 * Elements you hide aren’t generated in the source code at all, so search engines
   won’t see anyhthing. Any change in page content has some sort of effect on seo
   but I guess it depends what it is you’re not showing.
