    Hi,

    If I have two different pages on my site say page 1 and page 2.

    How can I place an item on the sidebar for page 1 and a different item for the sidebar
    in page 2?

    Is this possible by just clicking something or do I have to actually modify the code?

    Any help will be apprectiated.

    Thanks...
    Joseph

    You have two options.

    You can create a new sidebar template, and within the loop of page.php do a conditional test for that page and offer the other sidebar up.

    Or you can use the WidgetLogic plugin, which will do the conditional testing inside of your Widget Admin screen.
