I have been working to get dynamic side bars working on this theme. I have tried core sidebars, but it relies on the if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) register_sidebar(); type of funciton on the function.php page, which your theme does not use. Then I tried pages sidebars, which works, but unfortunately does not support widgets. It requires you to enter raw html & text in a custom field on each page... and that is where my question is. If i choose to use this solution for unquie side bars, how do I get the same type of styling that u use on the widget fueled sidebars (ie the gray box with hr line for the title, etc) you can see the normal secondary sidebar & the pages side bar in action on this page http://unitedskeebal...es/continental/ and you can see the style difference. What code would I need to enter into the custom field box to get it match the "automated" side bars style?

Hi there, There is a plugin called "Widget Logic" and it does exactly what you require. I use it on my site and it works perfect. You put all the widgets on 1 sidebar (or more if you like) and for every widget you can tell on which section (post, page, named page, etc) it should appear. Good luck!

Yea its a good plugin, I'm using it now. Only issue with it though, is if I need 2-3 unique widgets for every page and I have 50+ pages you can see where that can turn into a nightmareeeeeeeee to manage. I don't mind having to put in raw code on each page, but I just need to know what code will pull up the sidebar styled box's.

type of funciton on the function.php page, which your theme does not use.

The theme uses these functions... the 'register sidebar' functions are inside of 'sidebar-setup.php' file in StationPro. You can add the your own functions there.
