My website is built using the Genesis framework and Dynamik child theme. I want a Smart Sidebar Slider which only appears on certain “Product” pages, so I have created a template which these pages are going to use and added the following code before the “genesis();” line:

add_filter(‘sss_sidebar_activation_2’, ‘sidebar_2_activation’);
function sidebar_2_activation() {
return TRUE;
}

I have also set the Sidebar rules mode to “Manual Only”.

However the sidebar doesn’t appear. (It appears when the rules mode is set to “Site wide”).

It is possible that your code is not executed when it is needed. Plugin checks for the activation on ‘wp’ action, and I plan to replace that in the next update, but right now it requires more testing. I recently published 2.9 version, so this change is expected in 3.0. But, problem is that the action I need to use will be always run before individual template is loaded, so this code can’t be run inside the template, it has to be added before the template.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I can work around it in the meantime. I look forward to version 3.0.
