Conditional for displaying entire widget areas

[webkompaan]

I'm using the Widget Logic plugin to display or hide widgets. But now I'm using so many different widgets on different pages that I think it is much more efficient to create three different sidebars. Each in the same place, but displaying on different sections of the website. For instance, the blog section, the photo section, the shop section.

How can I do this?

Genesis simple sidebars would serve you well I believe. https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/

Ok, thanks.
I found this code I used and that works. But perhaps this plugin you mention is easier, because I need more than one replacement.

add_action('get_header','cd_change_genesis_sidebar');
function cd_change_genesis_sidebar() {
    global $post;
	$ancestors = get_post_ancestors( $post );
	if ( is_page( 'fotografie' )  || in_array( '12923', $ancestors) ) {
        remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' ); //remove the default genesis sidebar
        add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'cd_do_sidebar' ); //add an action hook to call the function for my custom sidebar
    }
}

function cd_do_sidebar() {
	dynamic_sidebar( 'nextgen' );
}
