Custom Sidebar Links

Installation

  2. Activate the Custom Sidebar Links through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
  3. Go to Appearance->Widgets. Drag the Custom Sidebar Links widget to your active sidebar.

    Note: You can also use the shortcode [vimo_csbl] on the content area of any page if you wish to display it elsewhere other than the sidebar. If you need to use it in the template files, simply use the do_shortcode() function. Like this: echo do_shortcode( ‘[vimo_csbl]’ );

  4. It’s recomended to enable “default child pages” to automatically populate links for pages that have a parent/child relation.
  5. Go to Pages and click to edit a page you wish to customize and select a menu or check the boxes of all pages/posts/custom post types you would like.
