WP plugin Ax-sidebar
With this plugin you can add extra HTML or just plain text when posting a new page or post. That content will be displayed in sidebar widget. Very good for inserting related links or other HTML content.
Its WP homepage is link
This is my first plugin for wordpress so it is maybe little messy and not wisely coded. I take no responsibility for this plugin. Use it at your own risk. Anyway it creates a new table in database for this content, so you don’t need to worrie about data loss or something. Plugin only saves data into its own table.
Installation is very easy. After activating this plugin you can add ax-sidebar data into post. No extra configuration needed- only add widget to sidebar and you are good to go.
It’s only tested in wordpress 2.6 so I really dont know does it work in previous versions. Maybe I will develop it furter, so feel free post me a comment or feature request if you want. And some screenshots to visualize it.

Works great, thank you
I haven’t tested this yet but it looks really cool. It is one of things I would never have thought to do but could be quite useful.
Really creative there.
does not work on wordpress 2.6… i installed wordpress 2.5.2 but there is no version of wordpress 2.5.3 ?
istari,
Maybe your database user used for WP does not have CREATE permissions. This is important because this plugin creates new table into database. My both blogs are at version 2.6 and this plugin works. About other versions I really dont know, and it is mentioned above.
Damn, I relaized, that in repositry, readme saysthat is compatible with WP 2.5.3, but yes.. It is wrong. It should be 2.6. I’ll fix that soon as possible
I want to know what are the possible usage of this plugin.
creative example of where it can be best used.
Great plugin. But is it possible to call axe sidebar manually on wordpress instead of having widget?
On some posts I have different theme which doesn’t have sidebars and no widget is active on it.
In fact, I don’t know. Iave no time to test it also right now. But If you gonna change your theme anyway (as I can understand) why not add widget area for that as well. It should be easy, if I can remember right.
Hi Admin,
Thanks for your work with this plugin: it works fine!!
One question only:
When I put html (for example for the use of plugin ’store locator’). It does shows up in a post or page.
But I want it only to be vissible in the sidebar.
I think this is possible, but I don’t know how..
May thanks for your advice,
Leen
thanks for this cool plugin, great work
thanks in advance.
Hi Janar, thank you for this helpful plug-in. Is there any way that i can make this widget appear in more than one sidebare on my webstite??
Thank you for your advice,
Norbert
Hi Norbert,
Actually I could add more widgets that can be added to theme, but I don’t
know when I will have time for that modification. Not in this year for
sure. Maybe next year’s first week. But good to hear this plugin is
helpful. This sure is inspiring.
Hi!
Great Plugin thank you! I use this it 2 projects.
For a new project I need to modify it. Can you help me with that?
I have a sidebar creator Plugin and now have 5 different sidebars. I need your Plugin to take in each one of it. But I only can insert this Plugin 1time in the widgets section.
Can you tell me how i can make it this way..to use it more then 1time in one sidebar?
