How to Display Different Sidebars for Each Page and Post

Introduction

BuddyBoss Theme does not include a built-in option to assign unique sidebars per page or post. To achieve this, you can leverage a page builder or sidebar-management plugin that lets you design and assign custom sidebar layouts on a per-page/post basis.

Use a Page Builder Plugin

We recommend following Creating a Different Sidebar with a Page Builder Plugin from WPBeginner. This approach works with any WordPress theme, including BuddyBoss

By using a page builder (e.g., Elementor, Beaver Builder) or a dedicated sidebar plugin, you can:

  • Create multiple sidebar templates
  • Assign each template to specific pages, posts, or conditions
  • Control widget areas without editing theme code

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: Can I target sidebars by user role or profile type?
A: Only with additional conditional logic via a plugin or custom code. The page-builder method lets you target by page, post type, category, etc.

Q: My custom sidebar isn’t appearing—what should I check?
A: Ensure your page builder or sidebar plugin’s display rules include the correct page/post, clear caches, and verify no widget conflicts.
