LIVE PREVIEW

Smart Sidebars Slider is a WordPress plugin that can add one or more extra sidebars (for widgets or any other content) that will be hidden behind the tab on left or right side of the screen. You can add one or more sidebars and control their visibility across different WordPress pages.

Content for sidebars and basic features

These sidebars behave like standard sidebars, and you can add widgets into all new sidebars from standard WordPress Widgets panel. If you need it for some custom content, you can add any HTML/PHP content or use filters to add any content inside sidebar. You can set custom rules to control on which pages each sidebar will be shown, you have built in simple styler to create custom styles for sidebars, you can control open/close animation for sidebars and much more.

One or more sidebars on both screen sides

You can add one or more new sidebars that will be hidden behind the tab (custom text, icons, any HTML). Click on the tab will slide out the sidebar. You can customize rules for each sidebar activation, so it can be displayed only on some pages (archives, single posts and more). Or you can use filter to fine tune where the sidebar is displayed.
