Examples shown in ` Method` sections above. * There is no limit to the number of custom classes that can be used. * Each custom class must only contain (letter,number,-,_) characters, otherwise all custom classes are omitted. * The sidebar ID is always added to the HTML class attribute if it contains only( letter,number,-,_) characters. #### Demo: [Visit Plugin URI](http://www.thinkerwebdesign.com/thinker-sidebar-shortcode-plugin/) ## Screenshots * [[ * How to find a sidebar Name. * [[ * How to find a sidebar ID. * [[ * Example use of the shortcode. ## Installation 1.
