When you&#8217;re working with BuddyPress, a set sidebar may not always be the best choice for use sitewide with your various components. BuddyPress developer <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/slaFFik\" target=\"_blank\">@slaFFik<\/a> has released a new plugin that aims to give you more flexibility in widget display, whether it&#8217;s in your sidebar or footer or any other widgetized area.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/bp-extend-widgets\/\" target=\"_blank\">BuddyPress Extend Widgets<\/a> lets you select the users&#8217; profiles or group pages where you wish to display or hide a specific widget.  All active widgets will get these extra BuddyPress specific options, even if the widget is not generated by a BuddyPress-specific plugin. So for example, you might show a &#8220;members&#8221; widget only in the Members Directory. Or perhaps you don&#8217;t want to show your &#8220;recent posts&#8221; widget in the groups directory.  All of this is possible with <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/bp-extend-widgets\/\" target=\"_blank\">BuddyPress Extend Widgets<\/a>. Download it from the WordPress plugin repository.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want more flexibility in arranging your sidebars with BuddyPress?
