  • Now you can use conditions to apply the sidebar on any page, post ar CPT you wish. Soon will be added support for taxonomies, 404 page and other(please suggest).
  • The widgets now use the theme style and tags. That means the newly generated sidebars will look good on any theme, no need for additional styling.
  • Modular code. You can create and register your own conditions. That’s mainly not required but can be handy for some developers.

  • Quick fix UI. When a new sidebar is created, it display an incorrect info and it was fixed only after page refresh.
  • Removed unused files, since version 3.0 is on development smk_sidebar_metabox.php was removed, as it was never used and is not required for the next versions.

  • Quick fix for shortcode smk_sidebar ID. Shortcode did not work because the ID was not set correctly.
  • Added new tab “How to use?” and links to docs.

  • Added import/export functions.
  • Changes to smk_sidebar shortcode. Previously to get a sidebar required only an integer number, now you can get any sidebar using the shortcode just giving the id, even if the sidebar is not generated using Sidebar Generator plugin.
  • Added plugin version to enqueued scripts and style.

2.2

  • Confirm sidebar remove.
  • Bug fix: Sidebars could not be added when all previous sidebars were removed.
  • Bug fix: Fixed ajax name validation.

Clashing with plugins

By adrianawebb on July 28, 2020

The plugin is great, but i can't install other plugins for subscription forms or newsletters. Your plugin stops working properly when I install other plugins.

Superb!
