Showing different sidebar on different pages

February 21, 2007 – 9:06 pm | by

To show a different sidebar on different pages, replace the standard call for the sidebar:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

with the following code:

<?php include ('sidebar2.php'); ?>

The same can be done to call different headers, i.e. instead of <?php get_header(); ?> use <?php include ('header2.php'); ?>For more information, see Different Sidebars Anyone? on the WordPress codex.

    For the ones who are confused:
    1. You create a new page template (check google)
    2. In your new page template php, you do these changes mentioned here.
    3. Select your new template on the pages you want to have your new sidebar :)
    I think that should answer you :)
