[Support request] Custom Sidebars

[JANE]

We are trying to recreate our current websites, because the theme is no longer being updated.

We want to have different sidebars for different pages and the “Custom Sidebars” plugin we used previously doesn’t seem to be compatible with generatepress.
Are there any sidebar plugins that you recommend?

Thanks

Hi there,

The plugins that are compatible with twenty twenty series theme should be compatible with GP as well.

By the way, how many different sidebars are we talking about here?

If not many, you can try the block element - sidebar, it works the same way as the block element - site footer.

We haven’t been using the twenty twenty series. For sidebars, we may want five or so. Would that work with block elements? Or if it’s easier with a plugin, we saw one that says it is compatible with all themes. What do you think?

Yes, five is not many.

I don’t have personal reference, I would say try a few plugins to see which one works the best.
