Plugins: Create Custom Sidebars
In Oxygen, there is no default sidebars (no theme) so only two of the plugins work as expected: Lightweight Sidebar Manager and Content Aware Sidebars All the others are shown only inside Widgets area, but that menu-item is non-existant.
So, at the end, I have chosen the Lightweight Sidebar Manager
- Lightweight Sidebar Manager made by creators of Astra theme
- Custom Sidebars – Dynamic Widget Area Manager seems best and most intuitive. Also has import/export functionality
- Content Aware Sidebars too complicated with too much selling, but it really has the most of options (un-needed)
- Cherry Sidebars is really simple and nice. I really love it.
- Simple Page Sidebars is only for setting up sidebars per page/post basis, not based on conditions
In normal “theme” circumstances, for simplest and most intuitive, use Cherry Sidebars, but for the most complete, the winner is Custom Sidebars
