Overview

The Widget Context plugin for WordPress allows users to control the visibility of widgets across different site sections, including the front page, posts, pages, archives, and search results. With enhanced flexibility, users can target specific URLs using wildcards, enabling precise control over widget display rules. The plugin also allows exclusion of certain URLs to hide widgets even if general visibility rules apply. Premium Support subscribers gain access to the PRO version upon its release, supporting ongoing development. Configurations are managed through the WordPress administration area under Appearance → Widgets or the Customizer interface.

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for its functionality, specifically its ability to control where widgets appear based on different criteria such as URL, post type, and sections of the website. This helps users avoid dealing with code and simplifies the widget display management, making their WordPress sites more powerful and flexible. Users highlight its user-friendliness, reliability, and rich features. However, drawbacks include issues with Gutenberg Widget compatibility, complicated settings, lack of robust documentation, and occasional unreliability in widget placement and retention of settings.

This is an excellent plugin for controlling where your widget appears. Unfortunately it does not work well with the new Gutenberg Widget. For example, when you select the option for Show Wwidget on Selected, it no longer open a text field to insert your url. I hope Kaspars release an update soon.

it works. that’s the important thing however it’s a bit complicated to deal with I wanted to simply include a widget in specific pages but there is no such option you can only decide based on the post type. it’s surprising that selection based on page “slug” is not an option ! when it should be the most basic thing to use.
