Showcase

Check out the Live Preview for Examples and How to pages. There are videos and screenshots too. We’ve set up examples on:
  • Widgetizing pages (Custom page layouts)
  • Replacing sidebars
  • Widget visibility

Custom page layouts – Widgetizing pages

Adding widgets on pages is a very flexible way to build your own unique page layout. Easy, fun, no coding!
  • Create as many custom sidebars as you need
  • Create a new page
  • Create your column layout – few clicks with the column manager
  • Insert the new sidebars in the columns
  • Go to Appearance -> Widgets and drop some widgets in your new sidebars
Your other option is to copy the sidebar’s shortcode and paste it in a page/post, wherever in the content you need it. You can read more on Widgetizing pages – the process, screenshots, video.

Vertical and Horizontal widget alignment

  • Vertical This is the default WordPress widget alignment. The widgets in sidebars (widget areas) with vertical alignment are arranged in a column bellow each other.
  • Horizontal The widgets in sidebars (widget areas) with horizontal alignment will be arranged in a row next to each other (lined up on the same line). Such widget areas are fluid and very flexible. The widget area width will be equally pided between all widgets in this widget area. Horizontal alignement is usually used on widgetized pages.
You can read more on Horizontal or vertical widget alignment with screenshots.

Replace existing theme sidebars with custom ones.

Display relevant content on your pages. You can now replace an existing sidebar (widget area) with a custom sidebar for one or group of pages, templates, posts, custom post types, taxonomies, etc (any combination). The content of the new sidebar will be displayed on the exact same spot as the one you select to replace only for those pages you selected.
  • Create a custom sidebar
  • Choose which sidebar to replace
  • Choose where to display the custom sidebar – any set of pages, templates, posts, custom post types, taxonomies, etc.
  • Go to your Appearance -> Widgets and drop some widgets in your new sidebar

Widgets visibility – complete control

Every widget can now be display on or hidden from one or few pages, templates, posts, custom post types, taxonomies, etc (any combination). It works with all widgets – WordPress default and any custom added widget.
  • Go to Appearance -> Widgets
  • Every widget has a button named Set Visibility
  • Choose where is the widget displayed on or hidden from

Add a sidebar in a page template file

Although it requires a little coding knowledge it is still very simple. Use the shortcode of the sidebar you’d like to add and the WordPress function do_shortcode.

Interface and Performance optimizations

  • Fits well into the core WordPress design
  • Optimized performance for large WP installations
  • Ajax based operations so you don’t have to wait on pages to refresh
  • Filters in the listings – search, total selected, and showing numbers
  • Content types are grouped
Content types are grouped

It’s flexible and one can work rapidly with it. Although there a
re many plugins to create columns with, S&W Manager does it the best, i.m.o., and does many many more. The learning curve is very very low (if there is a learning curve at all!)
