It typically contains widgets that provide additional information, navigation options, or social links, images and so on. It is a highly customizable area designed in a way that makes it very easy for website owners to add what they feel is most useful. For some websites, such as blogs, it can be archive links, related or <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-display-featured-post-in-the-wordpress-sidebar\/\">featured posts<\/a>. You can even use it to <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-display-random-quotes-in-wordpress-sidebar\/\">display random quotes<\/a>, which is an interesting addition for lifestyle, culture or literature blogs. For shops, it can be product categories, links to the cart or checkout page, related products and so on. <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-add-an-image-to-wordpress-sidebar\/\">Sidebars can also contain images<\/a>, and one of the common practices is to use the sidebar to <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-add-social-media-icons-to-wordpress-sidebar\/\">display your social media links<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder   qodef-has-border \">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"969\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-Sidebar.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Blog Sidebar\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-Sidebar.jpg 969w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-Sidebar-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-Sidebar-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-Sidebar-620x448.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 969px) 100vw, 969px\" \/>                        <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;8px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/wordpress-theme\/braise-recipe-food-blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Braise &#8211; Recipe &amp; Food Blog<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Because of its versatility and customizability, the sidebar can greatly improve a website\u2019s UX and can be very beneficial for conversions.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]However, it\u2019s not always beneficial to display a sidebar on your pages, or to display the same one on all pages. In some cases, a sidebar may give the page a sense of clutter &#8211; this is particularly true for news aggregators &#8211; or divert the attention from the main content. In those cases it\u2019s good to know that <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-remove-sidebar-in-wordpress\/\">the sidebar can easily be removed<\/a>. It\u2019s also important to make sure your sidebar displays well on mobile screens. In many cases, website owners turn the sidebar off for small screens, as it can\u2019t be displayed at the sides of the main content area but below it, instead.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]And, like we said, sometimes you want to use different sidebars on different pages.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;68px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"why-use-different-sidebars-for-different-pages\"><\/a>Why Use Different Sidebars for Different Pages on Your WordPress Site<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]No matter the type of website you own, the content you display will inevitably differ from page to page. For example, your About page will surely have its own, unique structure, and will most likely offer different types of information compared to, say, your blog, products, or categories pages.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Now, WordPress contains a few widget-ready areas (like your footer area, your header, etc.) that are defined by the WordPress theme you\u2019re using. Usually, however, there is the same blog sidebar that gets displayed on all your pages, posts, categories, and <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-create-custom-wordpress-archive-page\/\">archive pages<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]If you add a custom sidebar to each of these page types, you have a chance to include widgets into it that will be more complementary to the content you\u2019re sharing on those pages. By doing this, you can <strong>personalize your sidebar to better fit the needs and interests of your visitors<\/strong> and thus <strong>make it more user-friendly, functional, and relatable to the page in question<\/strong> overall.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]For example, on a specific blog post, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/add-widget-to-wordpress\/\">add widgets<\/a> into your sidebar that offer links to related posts or posts that are in the same category as the article itself. Or, on your About page, you can insert a widget that displays your navigational links, your social media buttons, etc. If you have products to sell, on your products\u2019 pages you can include things like a search bar widget, product categories, and so on.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In short, once you start using custom-tailored sidebars, your choices are limitless. Not only will your audience appreciate it, but you will also be able to create a more unique website that stands out among your competition.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Without further ado, let\u2019s see how you can add different sidebars to each page or post of your WordPress site.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;new-top-picks-banner&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;81px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"how-to-add-different-sidebars-to-pages-and-posts\"><\/a>How to Add Different Sidebars to Posts and Pages in WordPress<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]To add a different sidebar to each page or post on your site, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-install-a-wordpress-plugin\/\">install a WordPress plugin<\/a> called <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/custom-sidebars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Custom Sidebars \u2013 Dynamic Widget Area Manager<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder   qodef-has-border \">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"969\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Custom-Sidebars.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Custom Sidebars\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Custom-Sidebars.jpg 969w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Custom-Sidebars-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Custom-Sidebars-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Custom-Sidebars-620x331.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 969px) 100vw, 969px\" \/>                        <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;38px&#8221;][vc_column_text]When it comes to sidebar plugins, this is easily one of the best around.

As soon as you access the widgets screen, you will notice that the Widgets section now has a slightly different structure compared to before.
