Category Specific Sidebar Help Please.

[seanerin72]

Hello all, as noted before I am working hard trying to get my site up in time for the school year (3 weeks to go). I have spent some time into creating category-specific sidebars...and I am struggling. Essentially, I want my "sophomore english" and "the human condition" pages to have unique sidebars (different from the home page and each other). I have two issues:
1. With the Prose theme I have two sidebar options, primary and secondary. I edited the human condition category (using prose extras) to use the secondary sidebar on the right, yet, as you can see, it isn't formatted properly. I am not sure how to correct its positioning. I have the following custom css code:

body {
background: #f5f5f5;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1100px;
}

#inner {
width: 1100px;
padding: 0 20px;
}
.content-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap {
width: 1060px;
}
.content-sidebar #content {
width: 740px;
}
.sidebar {
width: 300px;
}
.full-width-content #content {
width: 1040px;
}

.footer-widgets-1, .footer-widgets-3 {
width: 335px;
}
.footer-widgets-2 {
width: 340px;
}

What should I add or adjust?

2. Ideally, I wanted to use the simple sidebar plugin to take care of my sidebar needs. I created a category-specific sidebar (English 10). I used the following code in custom functions to register the sidebar:

register_sidebar(array(
'name' => __( 'English 10' ),
'id' => 'English 10',
'description' => __( 'Widgets in this area will be shown on the right-hand side.' ),
'before_title' => '<h1>',
'after_title' => '</h1>'
));

When I edited my category I was thrilled to see that under sidebar options, I could change primary from default to "English 10." However, the sophomore page still shows the primary sidebar. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

As I posted this in the wee hours, I am giving myself a shameless bump. 🙂 Thank you...

Couldn't you use the Genesis simple sidebars plugin for this?

Thanks for the response. To be clearer, I am using the simple sidebars plugin. #2 in my post references my attempt to register a sidebar for my "sophomore english" page. If I could get some help with that, it may take care of my sidebar issues altogether.
