How can I use individual sidebars for SOME specific posts with specific widgets?

Hi there,
For a specific group (!) of individual blog posts, I'd like to sidebar to be different than the rest.
Basically, what I'd like is that a certain group of posts only have a table of contents (ToC) in the sidebar and nothing else. See picture here: https://imgur.com/cZ1e31I.
The ToC I can solve with a plugin, but I don't know how to make unique sidebars - containing only the ToC widget - for these group of posts. My 'normal' sidebar contains many other things which I don't want for these posts.
Could you please help with this? Many thanks.
Hi there,
You'll need conditional widgets for this. This is so you can pick what widgets show up on specific pages.
Something like this would do - https://wordpress.org/plugins/conditional-widgets/
But I don't think that's updated. Try checking its competitor plugins.
Thanks for the answer.
Cannot this be solved with Elements by any chance?
It's possible - but sometimes widgets might not load in elements so you will have to try it out.
We usually recommend content aware sidebar for request like this:
