WooSidebars

बिबरन

With WooSidebars, it’s possible to change the widgets that display in a sidebar (widgetized area) according to a context (for example, a specific page, a specific blog post, certain categories or the search results screen). Setting up a custom widget area to display across multiple conditions is as easy as a few clicks.

Installation

Minimum Requirements

  • WordPress 3.3 or greater
  • PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
  • MySQL version 5.0 or greater

Automatic installation

Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t even need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of WooSidebars, log in to your WordPress admin panel, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.

In the search field type “WooSidebars” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found our widget areas plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking Install Now. After clicking that link you will be asked if you’re sure you want to install the plugin. Click yes and WordPress will automatically complete the installation.

Manual installation

The manual installation method involves downloading WooSidebars and uploading it to your webserver via your favourite FTP application.

  1. Download the plugin file to your computer and unzip it
  2. Using an FTP program, or your hosting control panel, upload the unzipped plugin folder to your WordPress installation’s wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  3. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu within the WordPress admin.

Where to go after installation

Once WooSidebars has been installed and activated, please visit the “Appearance -> Widget Areas” screen to begin adding custom widget areas.

Upgrading

Automatic updates should work a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case.

Hace casi dos años que no lo actualizan y con la última versión de Wordpress 5.8 ha roto mi web. Los artículos han empezado a perder el formato, tamaño de texto, colores, bordes, celdas, etc… y me he vuelto loco durante dos semanas hasta encontrar el problema. Además, si accedo al menú de widgets de worpress empiezan a saltar lineas de error, una por cada widget que tengo en cada barra lateral con este plugin. Y antes de que me de tiempo ha hacer nada, página en blanco con error 404 y la web inservible durante un buen rato. Solución a todos los problemas, desactivar todas las opciones de este plugin, desactivar el plugin y borrarlo y limpiar la base de datos del CPanel. Conclusión: Instalar plugins gratuitos es un error, tarde o temprano los abandonan.

There is a problem with line 170 in class-woo-sidebars.php which can be fixed by changing the %a to a %s. From this: 'search_items' => sprintf( __( 'Search %a', 'woosidebars' ), $plural ), To this: 'search_items' => sprintf( __( 'Search %s', 'woosidebars' ), $plural ),

If you have trouble with widgets showing or being compatible in Oxygen Builder, this plugin can do wonders. Especially true regarding WooCommerce plugins and how they utilize Widgets a lot. Needs to be regularly updated though.
