[VIDEO] StudioPress Genesis Simple Sidebars Plugin

Custom Widgets – per page & post

One of my favorite features of Genesis is the 6 different page/post layout options. I think it’s probably one of the least used features and one I’ve decided to test and see what kind of results I get.

I think in order to maximize the different layout options you want to be able to easily dictate which widgets appear on which page- and in an easy manner. Previously I was using the Widget locationizer plugin- which worked great, but could be a bit clunky for people and makes it a little too easy for people to ‘hide’ their widgets, unintentionally (I’ve received a few emails from clients asking what happened to a specific widget because they had edited something or added a widget and now they ‘lost’ one!).

At first I thought that the Simple Sidebars plugin was similar, so why bother.

Well…insert foot in mouth.

It’s way easier to use and makes it VERY easy to set up custom sidebars on your site! This plugin works for either the primary or secondary sidebar (depending on which layout you use you can customize the secondary sidebar as well).
Here’s a screenshot of the different layouts built into Genesis- but selecting a different page layout you can really grab the visitors attention when they land on a page and the sidebar has moved and there’s new content in it!

I think the easiest way to do this is simply (pun intended) to show you!
(*SIDE NOTE* I forgot to check Camtasia to see if the cursor was highlighted- so it’s not in this video. Just a heads up- but it’s such a short, easy video thought you guys could roll with it!)
