WTG Portal Manager Beta

1. 

   API accounts on a per portal basis but default ones for ease.

2. 

   Working on one portal at a time allows all of the plugins views to help you focus on that portal. We active the portal we wish to edit.

3. 

   A single form creates a new portal plus pages, a WP core menu, a WP core sidebar for displaying the menu and more to come.

4. 

   Some common portal pages. Enter their existing ID or enter # to bulk create them.

5. 

   Display forum content in the portal to encourage traffic to flow between portal and forum.

Why does portal does not display my chosen custom sidebar?

Your theme may not support dynamic sidebars. The theme author may need to add the dynamic_sidebar() function
to the sidebar.php file in your themes folder. See more information here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/dynamic_sidebar

Can I display multiple custom/dynamic sidebars in one portal?

Yes – it is possible but I may need to add support for your theme. It depends on the custom ID values being passed
to the dynamic_sidebar() function. Adding support for your theme will not take long at all so please drop a comment in the plugins
forum.

As a WebTechGlobal subscriber can I get higher priority support for this plugin?

Yes – subscribers are put ahead of my Free Workflow and will not only result in a quicker response for support
but requests for new features are marked with higher priority.

Can I hire you to customize the plugin for me?

Yes – you can pay to improve the plugin to suit your needs. However many improvements will be done free.
Please post your requirements on the plugins forum first before sending me Paypal or Bitcoins. If your request is acceptable
within my plans it will always be added to the WTG Tasks Management plugin which is part of my workflow system. The tasks
priority can be increased based on your WebTechGlobal subscription status, donations or contributions you have made.

Did WTG Portal Manager change one of my posts sidebars that I already set manually?

I added this FAQ while creating the plugin because I’m allowing it to force a change to sidebar
that may have been done manually. Some users will want this but I’m ready to work with the users
who want something else. If you selected a special sidebar for your post/page manually on the Edit Post
screen. You may find that it is changed by WTG Portal Manager if you then assign that post or page to
a portal with a different main sidebar set. This scenario would indicate that you want/need the post to
display widgets from two different sidebars. There may be a solution so please raise your situation on
the plugins forums.
