Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Content Aware Sidebars – Fastest Widget Area Plugin
Of course not! CAS is praised by users for its unparalleled sidebar and widget visibility options. It's the only plugin that allows you to display widget areas on literally any condition without any code.
Yes! If your theme already has WordPress sidebars and widget areas, you can create new custom sidebars to replace, merge with or hide those on certain conditions. You can also display custom sidebars using the sidebar shortcode [ca-sidebar id=""] anywhere in your content. If your theme has a built-in sidebar generator, it is recommended to disable it and/or only use CAS for maximum speed and compatibility.
Yes! In the Sidebar Editor, you can select where, when and to whom your sidebar should be displayed. Create a sidebar for each page, a sidebar for posts in a category, or any sidebar you need, all in a user-friendly UI. You can also select sidebars directly when you're editing a post or page. Click here to read more about Display Conditions.
Yes! If you prefer to manage widgets in the traditional way, you can use Classic Widgets which CAS also supports. Moreover, the Pro version makes it possible to infuse widget areas into theme hooks, as well as insert areas between content paragraphs.
Yes! Many users already compliment CAS with popular page builder plugins such as Elementor, SiteOrigin Page Builder, Beaver Builder, and Visual Composer.
