Is there a way to add additional “Optional Sidebars” other than the Optional Sidebar One, Two and Three?
I have about 10 static pages and would like to give them all a right sidebar to give them all a similar look, but the right sidebar needs to display different info on each of the 10 static pages.
October 30, 2014 at 2:40 am #46599SakinKeymaster@Chris: It’s not good to add more and more sidebars. So, I recommend you to add in “Jetpack” plugin and activate “Widget Visibility” module. This allows you to add widget only for particular page or posts.
October 30, 2014 at 7:37 am #46619ChrisParticipantThanks Sakin for the quick response! Will try it out with Jetpack tomorrow. The support you offer for the free and pro themes is awesome. The Pro theme is worth every penny, and I’m really glad I updated. Thanks again!

Rather than use just one module of the custom link widget (with 25 links) I wanted to add several modules of links, with category heads for each.
But… when I add two or more widgets to the Optional Sidebar One, it cascades each one. For example:
Link widget
first link
second linkSEcond Link Widget
first link
second linkSubscribe to newsletter widget
December 4, 2014 at 3:06 am #48458MariaMemberWhen I hit submit, it removed my formatting in this post. Each widget above is somehow indented or cascading in the sidebar, if I add them all. I’m not sure how to fix it so they are all justified left.
December 4, 2014 at 11:56 am #48478SakinKeymaster@Maria: Sorry I don’t get it what you mean. Please post in your site URL so that I can check in. Also for links you can create Menus and add custom links to your menu from “Appearance => Menus”. Then you can add that custom menu in your Widgets from “Appearance => Widgets”
February 26, 2015 at 12:34 pm #52407MariaMemberHi again — I’m the one with the cascading sidebar widgets, when using Catch Box Pro. Here’s the problem:
http://unlockmybrain.org/dashboards/wa_mercerisland/
The second widget in the sidebar cascades all other widgets underneath, no matter which widget I throw in there. Some sidebars don’t seem to be doing it (the main sidebar on the homepage), and I can’t figure it out.
I’m a novice, and have not touched the CSS or editor settings. Any advice?
Thanks!

and already started new one. This looks like custom widget. If you have added through plugin then check your plugin. YOu can add any other default widget and I guarantee you will not have any issue.
