Wordpress themes customization - wordpress

I want to add a widget in to my theme and it should display only home page. Also user can add different page URL's to the widget through admin panel and added page should be display in home page. Please help me.....

Just register two separate widget areas. One for the home and one for the test of the site. This way you can add different widgets to each section of your site.

JohnP's solution works great if you are comfortable getting into the code. If you would rather work only within the Widget admin page, I would recommend using the Widget Logic plugin which allows you to specify where widgets should and shouldn't be displayed. You can find it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/. For your setup, simply drag the widget into the widget area and in the widget logic text input place the following:
is_home()
By doing so, the widget will only show on the home page. Like I said, JohnP's solution will work, but might be more involved than simply doing this.

Can’t see widget areas in my Theme Customize (Wordpress)

I’ve a problem with my Theme Customize.
I’ve registered 4 widget area in my template, I can see them correctly in the Apparence > Widget panel, but I can’t see them in the Theme Customize, when I click on my Widget section I have the following message instead:
Your theme has 4 widget areas, but this particular page doesn’t display them. You can navigate to other pages on your site while using the Customizer to view and edit the widgets displayed on those pages.
For example, i want to use sidebar at other pages, but it only shows on the shop page.
Any help will be really appreciated!
Thank you all.

Can't get widgets to appear in front page in customization, WordPress

I wan't to add a instagram feed to my page in wordpress, and for that I need a widget. But I can't get my widgets to appear in the customization of my page. And I've tried to make the page static and add the widget from appearence/widget.
How can I add the widget? Is there a way to integrate instagram without widget. I need it at the bottom of my page.
Thanks in advance!
instagram feed plugin must give you code like [instagram feed241]
when you get this code you should add this code to your first page and for doing this
you can add html code in custumizer

How apply one sidebar for several pages in WordPress?

I have created one website by WordPress. I have one sidebar that I want apply to several pages. I read a lot of tutorials but I could not find any solutions? How can I do this??
Solution 1
Modify your theme - create custom page template and register new sidebar. It's pretty well documented on WordPress.org
Page templates
Sidebars
Solution 2
If you are not WP developer, this is simper and more user friendly solution for you.
Install Widget Logic plugin.
Add widgets to sidebar via WordPress administration.
Click on widget and specify conditions. For example you can restrict displaying of widget for pages in specific category: is_category(array(5,9,10,11))
For more condition examples read Widget Logic - Other notes section
If you are using avada theme you don't need to do anything, there is already option available for selecting sidebar on any page, so you can choose one sidebar for many page you wish.
If you didn't find Fusion Page Options in edit page screen than you have check your screen options.

Is it possible to somehow add data specific to an individual page's widget in Wordpress?

I want to add a google maps widget to Pages on a Wordpress site. They all have the same Template with a Sidebar but the map will be unique for each. I feel like there should be a way to populate the widget from the edit page screen for that Page. Does each Page actually need it's own Template?
This seems limiting maybe I'm missing something. If the question is unclear I let me know but I think this should be something ppl have run up against before.
I would suggest the integration of a wordpress plugin to accomplish this. It will be fairly easy to do.
If you want to do this without purchasing any 'pro' versions of a plugin and don't mind writing some simple code, then I would suggest Simple Google Map. You will have to insert a shortcode into the widgetized sidebar area. Here is the plugin link - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-google-map/
In order to customize each page's sidebar area, You need to write some code. Please refer to this article which will explain how http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/display-different-sidebar-for-each-post-and-page-for-wordpress/
It involves a simple alteration of your 'single.php' file and the usage of 'custom fields' so that you will be able to do this from the edit screen of the page, just like you wanted to do!
Use a plain text widget for each map and Widget Logic to select the page it appears on: WordPress › Widget Logic « WordPress Plugins

Custom per-page sidebar widgets in Wordpress.. possible?

Let's say I'm doing a site about cars, and in the main content area there are a few paragraphs about a particular car.
In the sidebar, are several standard widgets. But I also want a widget with an 'info panel' about the particular car.
So what's the sanest way of putting in a per-page widget in Wordpress? I guess ideally the info-panel could be entered via the standard page editing in Wordpress. (or is this something a plug-in already covers?)
Widget Logic plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/
Another Option would be to download and install the Graceful Sidebar Widget. This plugin enables you to create a sidebar that with content specific to each page or post. You specify the sidebar content right inside the post edit screen. Hope this helps!
Enjoy!
Mike
