Plugin Description

Add sidebars to WP Posts and Pages with shortcodes using a sidebar Name or sidebar ID.
Add one or more optional custom classes to match your theme styles or custom CSS styles.

Method 1 – (Recommended Use: Add a sidebar using a sidebar Name.)

A sidebar Name can be found in the Appearance > Widgets section of your WordPress Admin Area.

Example uses:

[sidebar name="your-sidebar-name"]
[sidebar name="your-sidebar-name" class="custom-class"]
[sidebar name="your-sidebar-name" class="custom-class-1 custom-class-2 custom-class-3"]

Method 2 – (Advanced WP Users: Add a sidebar using a sidebar ID.)

A sidebar ID can be found in your theme’s register_sidebar functions, usually in the theme’s functions.php file.

Example uses:

[sidebar id="your-sidebar-id"]
[sidebar id="your-sidebar-id" class="custom-class"]
[sidebar id="your-sidebar-id" class="custom-class-1 custom-class-2 custom-class-3"]

General Notes

The spelling and capitalization of a shortcode Name or ID must exactly match that of the desired sidebar.
Definition of an active sidebar: An active sidebar is a sidebar that contains widgets.
A [sidebar] shortcode without an active sidebar Name or active sidebar ID displays nothing.
An active sidebar ID overrides a sidebar Name if both are present in the same shortcode.
There is no limit to the number of shortcodes that can be used on the same page or post.
The same sidebar shortcode can be used multiple times on the same page or post.

HTML Class Notes

Separate multiple custom classes using a space character. Examples shown in Method sections above.
There is no limit to the number of custom classes that can be used.
Each custom class must only contain (letter,number,-,_) characters, otherwise all custom classes are omitted.
The sidebar ID is always added to the HTML class attribute if it contains only (letter,number,-,_) characters.
