 * Hi.
    Really like the theme/plugins so far as we develop a website for our Kiev,
   Ukraine high school basketball team. Have only worked with the rookie version
   and thinking of upgrading. But before I do I have a couple of questions:
 * I want to use dynamic widgets on individual player pages (and staff pages for
   that matter) but I don’t see that option. I can only set a widget for all player(
   or staff) pages and not individual ones.
 * For instance… I want to embed a video (or use a instagram feed) of each play 
   on their profile. Here is an example – [http://kozakbasketball.kis.net.ua/player/ishaan-jassal/](http://kozakbasketball.kis.net.ua/player/ishaan-jassal/)
 * Looks great, right?! But only option now is for video to show up on all player
   pages.
 * Thanks and look forward to your help.
 * David

 * [@davidconover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidconover/) Good question!
   I recommend installing the [Simple Page Sidebars](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-page-sidebars/)
   plugin, which will give you the option to create unique sidebars for each player
   and staff profile.

 * Thanks Brian for getting back to me.
 * Doesn’t seem to work (could be user error) for players or coaches. Perhaps because
   those are special post pages? It only give me an option to select sidebar widgets
   based on category like ‘position’ or ‘job’.
 * Help!

 * [@davidconover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidconover/) Try adding
   this to the theme’s functions.php:
 *     ```
       function myprefix_init() {
       	add_post_type_support( 'sp_player', 'simple-page-sidebars' );
       	add_post_type_support( 'sp_staff', 'simple-page-sidebars' );
       }
       add_action( 'init', 'myprefix_init' );
       ```

 * Brian… I got it fixed. Thanks so much for your help. Sincerely!
 * Mind if I ask another?
 * As I create player profiles and use shortcodes to display on pages (the work 
   around I used for sidebars)… the stats are inconsistent about showing up. Two
   examples:
 * [http://kozakbasketball.kis.net.ua/dallin-packer](http://kozakbasketball.kis.net.ua/dallin-packer)
   (
   only career totals show up)
 * [http://kozakbasketball.kis.net.ua/frane-vidosevic/](http://kozakbasketball.kis.net.ua/frane-vidosevic/)
   (
   competitions but not career totals show up)
 * The settings are 100% the same on both… not sure what is going on. Only happened
   after initial post and then edit.
 * Thanks for all you do!
 * David
