Howdy kpelham,
Technically, no. Currently this plugin just creates a custom sidebar widget area for each page on which you’d like one.
The idea with “Add to sidebar rather than replace” is this:
- When you check the box to add a page-specific sidebar, the plugin automatically creates a corresponding widget area under Appearance/Widgets.
- If you check the “Add to sidebar rather than replace” box, what should happen, is that whatever widgets you add to the newly-created corresponding widget area (again under Appearance/Widgets) will appear in addition to the existing sidebar.
Make sense?
If you want to have one sidebar that you apply to many pages, you might consider creating a custom template for the pages on which you’d like the common sidebar.
For example, if you had an About page on your site and you have three sub-pages like:
- Staff
- Directions
- Our Mission
. . . and you want them all to share a common sidebar, you could create a custom page template for your About page that calls in a specific sidebar.
Make sense?
