Make custom sidebar configurations and be able to choose what classic widgets display on each page or post of your site. Need to make a widget sticky or fixed? Try our free WP Sticky Anything plugin. Custom Sidebars works ONLY with the classic widgets screen that was used in WordPress before version 5.8.
