Reviews

Not reliable Anymore
by
The premium version used to work flawlessly but not anymore as they discontinued it and the free one has not been updated for the past 8 months. I was using it with Genesis framework but recently all the widget items from the custom sidebars go missing so I have to reimport them again from the backup. it happens randomly with no error log.
Nicely done, but too limited
by
Compared to other plugins the filters are too limited. E.g. one can't define a sidebar which is displayed on pages, but not on the homepage. EDIT: Changed from 3 star to 2 star rating because the support replied with an irrelevant answer.
Just what I needed!

Many thanks for that very useful plugin!

I need to install it twice to understand, that the module is about and how to operate it. but finally I have to say, perfect.
Can't add sidebar to woocommerce pages
by
We installed this thinking we could add a custom sidebar to our woocommerce category pages. This cannot be done with this plugin. This is a very basic plugin and does not even come close to what we need.
Very helpful plugin
by
This is very helpful plugin which save lots of time. Thank you!
Being forced to use this plugin
by
Because the main dynamic sidebar plugin does not work with a theme I am using. The logic that a "clone" is a "child"! -- Don't use this plugin unless you want to kill HOURS of unbillable time.
Thank your for such a great plugin!
by
This is really one of the best sidebar tool! Thank you very much for your great plugin!
Doesn't work for me
by
Not user friendly for the amateur WordPresser, I can't get any sidebars to work on only certain pages and other sidebars on another page. Spending too much time using it and getting nowhere.
