widgets - Dynamic Sidebars On Multiple Subpages in WordPress

More easy & elegant (higher maintainability):

<?php
// Your sidebar should have the wp_meta action hook
wp_meta();
// in ex. your functions.php
function my_sidebar_content() { // "About" Page if ( is_page('about') ) { // If some widget is added via Admin >
 Design >
 Widgets if ( is_active_sidebar( 'widgets-sidebar-default' ) ) { // Display Widgets dynamic_sidebar( 'widgets-sidebar-default' ); } // Default Content before Widgets were added else { _e('default static content', TEXTDOMAIN); } } // "Links" Page elseif ( is_page('links') ) { if ( is_active_sidebar( 'widgets-sidebar-links' ) ) { dynamic_sidebar( 'widgets-sidebar-links' ); } else { _e('default static content', TEXTDOMAIN); } }
}
add_action( 'wp_meta', 'my_sidebar_content', 10 );
# ===================================================
// OR:
wp_meta();
// functions.php
function load_my_sidebars() { // "About" Page if ( is_page('about') ) { get_template_part( 'sidebar_content', 'default' ); } // "Links" Page elseif ( is_page('links') ) { get_template_part( 'sidebar_content', 'links' ); }
}
add_action( 'wp_meta', 'load_my_sidebars', 10 );
// in sidebar_content-default.php // If some widget is added via Admin >
 Design >
 Widgets // You can add any static content right here before the widgets if ( is_active_sidebar( 'widgets-sidebar-default' ) ) { // Display Widgets dynamic_sidebar( 'widgets-sidebar-default' ); } // Default Content before Widgets were added else { _e('default static content', TEXTDOMAIN); } // You can add any static content right here after the widgets
// in sidebar_content-links.php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'widgets-sidebar-links' ) ) { dynamic_sidebar( 'widgets-sidebar-links' ); } else { _e('default static content', TEXTDOMAIN); }
