    Default Can You Set Up Different Widgets For Different Pages?

    Hi
    Is it possible to set up different sidebar widgets for different pages?

    Currently I have a few static pages on my site that has a customised set sidebar widget but for my blog page I would like to have a totally different one customised specifically for this page.

    Is this possible with Socrates to achieve this as I know this feature is able to be done in optimise press.

    Or if it can't be done, is there a way for the new magazine template to not have the side bar and for it to be full page?

    Regards

    Darren

    Search for the Widget Logic plug-in. It allows you to control what widgets show on different pages. If you are only talking text widgets I believe Dan's Related Ad's plug-in will let you control those on a page by page basis based on keywords set for the page or posts.

    mmmm, I tried using that plugin Lynnth and it doesn't seem to change the sidebar widgets in any of my pages.
    Tried a few other plugins but couldn't get them to work.
    Essentially all I want is a different sidebar for my blog so I can add different widgets.
    Very frustrating

    Hi Darren,

    I don't know exactly what kind of widgets you are looking to put in your sidebar, but if you search "plugins to add widgets to sidebars" in the Forum, you get several results that might be helpful.
