Custom Sidebars – Dynamic Sidebar Classic Widget Area Manager
Manage and replace sidebars and other classic widget areas on your site with Custom Sidebars, a flexible widget area manager. 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. If you want to use it with version 5.8 (and above) you have to install the official Classic Widgets plugin, or enable the classic widgets interface yourself. Once the classic widgets screen is activated the plugin will work the same as before. Having problems setting up SSL or generating an SSL certificate? Install the free WP Force SSL plugin.

Remove Widget Titles
The Remove Widget Titles plugin removes the title from any widget that has a title starting with the “!” character. Why Use It? This allows you to give widgets a title in the backend for convenience – so you can quickly see which widget is which, rather than having to open them to work out what they are for – without having to show the title on the front end. How To Use (once plugin is installed) If you have a widget for which you do not want the title to appear on the front end of your site, simply add the “!” character to the start of the widget title (in Appearance -> Widgets). Compatibility This plugin requires WordPress 2.6 or above. I am not currently aware of any compatibility issues with any other WordPress plugins. Similar Plugins There is another plugin called Hide Widget Title, but that leaves the widget title in the page source and hides it using CSS (adding another http request which slows load time slightly). Remove Widget Titles actually removes the widget title from the HTML. The plugin is only 7 lines of code, so it is extremely light and has minimal impact on performance. Support This plugin is officially not supported (due to my time constraints), but if you leave a comment on the plugin’s home page or contact me, I’ll try to help if I can.

Acknowledgements This plugin was originally written for QPS Media, who have allowed me to release it to the WordPress community and maintain ownership of the plugin.
