Plugins

The plugins used in this template are described here.

Cherry Sidebars

Cherry Sidebars allows to create and manage your own dynamic sidebars.

Cherry Sidebars is a lightweight plugin for creating multiple widget areas, and outputting them on posts or pages of your choosing. Now you don't have to limit yourself to one widget area, instead you can create as many as you like. Group your widgets into multiple areas, and pick which one you want to display for a certain post or page.

The plugin can be useful for certain posts or pages, where you want your content to be different, for example you need to add a banner ad to your popular post, or a bio section to the 'About' page. Cherry Sidebars would be a perfect tool for this task.

An example of two custom sidebars with the widgets.

The form for creating a sidebar. Simply specify name and description for your new sidebar.

This is the sidebar manager panel that allows you to assign one of the sidebars to the current page.

Cherry Data Importer

This plugin will help you export posts, comments, widgets, settings etc., from one site to another. With a single click of a button the plugin generates an XML file that can be imported to another website.

After the installation the plugin adds a new block - Demo Content where you can export or import the content.

Note: The images are not exported separately, they are downloaded from the server during the import.

File Import

To import the content, you need to upload the XML file and press “Start Import”.

Once the import begins you will see a box with progress bars.

After the import is complete you can view the site or customize it.

File Export

To export the data, you only need to press an Export button and an XML file will be created automatically.
