DynaSide creates dynamic sidebars that adapt to each page

No more generic sidebar content.
DynaSide (Dynamic Sidebars) gives you full control over widget areas, allowing you to create truly contextual sidebar experiences on a page-by-page basis.

Why choose DynaSide?

Key Features

  • Backup and Restore: Export all sidebars and page assignments to a JSON file and import them on another site or as a backup.
  • Access Control: Destructive actions such as “Reset” and “Delete Sidebar” are restricted to specific administrators only.
  • Safe and Reliable: Uses nonces, sanitization, and proper capability checks.
  • Fully Internationalized: 100% translatable and available in English and Portuguese.

GYIK

Does this plugin work with my theme?

Yes. DynaSide works with any theme that follows WordPress standards and uses dynamic_sidebar() to display widget areas.

Why don’t I see the data management options or the delete sidebar button?

This is a security measure to prevent accidental destructive actions.
By default, only specific administrator usernames are allowed to see these options.

To authorize additional users:

  1. Delete Sidebar permission:
    Edit wp-content/plugins/dynaside-sidebars-dinamicas-por-pagina/admin/class-dynaside-sidebars-dinamicas-por-pagina-admin.php and add the username to the $allowed_users_for_delete array.

  2. Data Management (Reset) permission:
    Edit wp-content/plugins/dynaside-sidebars-dinamicas-por-pagina/admin/views/admin-page.php and add the username to the $allowed_users_for_reset array.

Which theme sidebar does DynaSide replace?

By default, the plugin replaces the first registered sidebar from the theme (usually sidebar-1), which is commonly used as the main page sidebar.

Will my data be deleted if I deactivate the plugin?

No. All data (sidebars and assignments) is preserved when the plugin is deactivated.
Data is only removed if the plugin is deleted from the Plugins screen.
