Custom Sidebars Pro Packed With New Features
Custom Sidebars is by far the most popular widget extension plugin in the WordPress Plugin Repository with more than 420,000 downloads.
We acquired the highly rated and popular Custom Sidebars plugin last year and have added our own touches, including a complete overhaul of the user interface for both the free and premium versions.
Our new and intuitive design lets you edit your sidebars directly from the Widgets interface in WordPress, making it even easier and quicker to create your own sidebars.
The new features added to our pro version gives you even more control over your sidebars and what you display to visitors to your site.
Set Widget Visibility
Customize who sees your widgets and display entirely different sets of widgets based on user roles, post or page type, or taxonomies.
You can even use a combination of user and post/page types.

Clone Sidebars
Clone your widgets and save yourself a bunch of time.
Say you’ve got a social media widget, which takes time to set up due to all its fiddly settings. With Custom Sidebars Pro you can quickly duplicate widgets along with all theirs configured settings.
You can even link the cloned widgets so they update synchronously, or unlink them and edit each individually.

Import and Export Sidebar
The new import and export settings allow you to easily backup your sidebars, share them or copy them to existing single site or Multisite installs.

Even More Plugins Coming Soon
We’ve got lots more exciting plugin announcement planned for the coming weeks and Custom Sidebars Pro is just the first, so stay tuned.
