Per Page Sidebars

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 99% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This is a really useful plug in. The one thing I really would like to have at my disposal from the off would be the ability to edit the widget title (e.g. “PPS-page-slug” makes it slightly less user friendly in my view) and perhaps a note in Widget admin to say which widget is being replaced. Great stuff though!

   I run a site for a large organization, with a child theme based on Thematic. I use the main menu for site-wide navigation. Then I use Per Page Sidebars to put department-specific custom menus in Primary Aside. Very handy in conjunction with plugins that let you limit who can edit which pages and menus, such as Role Scoper or Press Permit.

   This was just what I was looking for. It lets me give each individual page (or post!) its customized sidebar. Thatnks for creating the plugin!

   Very useful plugin for more complex websites. Works well with WP pages, but would be much more useful if it could utilize custom post types as well. I haven’t disabled it yet, but it definitely shouldn’t wipe clean the previously configured widgets. Especially with text widgets utilizing JS or PHP this could lead to losing a lot of work. Please fix if this issue is replicable!

   Works like a charm… until you deactivate it. Upon turning it back on all custom sidebars were wiped clean. 🙁

   However it would be great if you could make this work on custom post types too. 🙂
