I wrote something similar, but this is much more versatile with the multiple instances of widgets, and coding, etc. Anyways, I've gotten it to work nicely on a client's site, but it does not seem to work when using a sub-sub page. The grandchild pages so-to-speak. Any idea why? Hey Eric, this is a great post first off.

This worked for me: else { if(!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) { $generic_sidebar = true; } } - ryan Might want to add an else statement to the end of the code in the sidebar.php, so there is a default state, so you don’t have to program a custom sidebar for each and every page.
