Show widgets only on specific pages, hide them for logged-out users, display different content for different categories Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – all without writing a single line of code. #### Looking for Widget Visibility and Scheduling? This plugin gives you control over where your widgets appear: * **Page targeting** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Show widgets on the front page, blog page, specific pages, or 404 error page * **Content targeting** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Display widgets only on certain categories, tags, or custom taxonomies * **Cascading taxonomy selector** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Quickly find terms in sites with many taxonomies (WooCommerce friendly) * **Include child terms** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Match child terms automatically for hierarchical taxonomies * **User targeting** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Show different widgets to logged-in users vs. visitors * **Role-based display** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Target specific user roles (administrators, editors, subscribers, etc.) * **Author pages** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Control visibility on author archive pages * **Date archives** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Target daily, monthly, or yearly archives * **Post type support** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Works with custom post types and their archives * **Time scheduling** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Schedule widgets to appear only during specific date and time ranges. Perfect for promotional banners, seasonal offers, holiday announcements, flash sales, event countdowns, and time-limited content #### Multiple Conditions Create sophisticated visibility rules by combining multiple conditions: * Use **OR logic** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Show if ANY condition matches * Use **AND logic** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Show only if ALL conditions match * Mix and match Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Create exactly the rules you need #### Built for Performance * Minimal database queries with intelligent caching * Only loads assets where needed (widget screens) * Clean, optimized code following WordPress standards #### Why Choose This Plugin? * **Lightweight** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Focused functionality without unnecessary features * **All features included** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – No premium version required * **Jetpack Compatible** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Migrate from Jetpack Widget Visibility without reconfiguring anything * **Independent Storage** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Your rules are stored separately, safe from Jetpack changes * **Block Editor Ready** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Works with both classic widgets and block- based widgets * **Privacy Focused** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – No external connections, no tracking, no data collection * **Safe by design** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – No PHP eval, no arbitrary code execution; rules are stored as structured data #### Coming from Jetpack? If youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ve been using Jetpack just for widget visibility and want to reduce your siteÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s load, this plugin can help: * **No configuration needed** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Your existing visibility rules are automatically imported on activation * **Same familiar interface** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – The visibility panel works as youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re used to * **Keep or clean legacy data** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Choose to maintain Jetpack compatibility or clean up completely * **No disruption** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Your widgets will continue working as before #### Coming from Widget Logic? Widget Logic has been closed on the WordPress plugin directory. Widget Visibility Control is a safe, maintained alternative: * **No PHP eval** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Visibility rules are stored as structured data, not as executable PHP code * **Assisted import** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – On detection of Widget Logic data, an importer translates the most common conditional tags (is_home, is_page, is_category, is_user_logged_in…) into proper visibility rules. Works with data from both Widget Logic 5.x and 6.x * **You decide whatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s tricky** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – For rules we canÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t translate automatically, the importer asks per widget whether to import as always visible, always hidden, or skip * **Original data preserved** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Your Widget Logic data stays in the database until you choose to clean it up #### Coming from Widget Options? If you only use Widget Options for visibility and want a lighter, focused plugin without the pro upsells: * **No pro version** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – All features included in the free plugin * **Visibility-first** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – We do one thing well: show/hide widgets based on pages, content, users, roles, and schedule * **Compatible interfaces** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Works in the block-based widget editor, the classic widget editor, and the Customizer * **Quick try** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Install alongside Widget Options to compare; switch when youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re ready #### Developer Friendly * Follows WordPress Coding Standards * Fully translatable with complete i18n support * Action and filter hooks for customization * Clean uninstall Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – removes only its own data ### Support Need private support or custom development?

Upload the `widget-visibility-control` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Configure visibility rules for your widgets (see “Where to find visibility settings” below) #### Where to find visibility settings The location of visibility settings depends on your widget editing interface: **In Appearance > Widgets (block editor):** When using native block widgets, select any block in a widget area, then look in the right sidebar for the **Visibility** panel. Here you can add rules to show or hide the block. **In Appearance > Widgets (with Classic Widgets plugin):** If you have the Classic Widgets plugin active, click the **“Visibility”** button that appears below each widgetÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s settings. **In Appearance > Customize > Widgets:** The Customizer always uses the classic interface. Click the **“Visibility”** button below each widgetÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s settings to configure rules. **Legacy Widgets in block editor:** When you add a Legacy Widget block, expand the widget settings and youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ll find the **“Visibility”** button in the classic interface within the block. **Coming from Jetpack?** Your existing visibility rules will be automatically imported. Visit Appearance > Widget Visibility to review your imported data. ## FAQ ### Does this work with the block-based widget editor? Yes! Widget Visibility Control works with all widget editing interfaces: * **Block-based widgets** (Appearance > Widgets): Visibility settings appear in the **Visibility** panel in the right sidebar. * **Legacy Widgets** in the block editor: The classic “Visibility” button appears within the legacy widget interface. * **Classic Widgets plugin**: If you prefer the traditional widget interface, the“ Visibility” button appears below each widget. * **Customizer** (Appearance > Customize > Widgets): Always uses the classic “Visibility” button interface. ### IÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’m using Jetpack. Will my visibility rules be preserved? Yes. On activation, the plugin automatically imports all your existing Jetpack Widget Visibility rules. No reconfiguration needed. ### Can I use this alongside Jetpack? Yes, but to avoid conflicts, our visibility interface is automatically disabled while Jetpack Widget Visibility module is active. You can continue using JetpackÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s interface, and when you disable the Jetpack module, our interface will take over automatically. Your visibility rules are stored in both formats, so the transition is seamless. ### What happens if I deactivate or uninstall this plugin? On deactivation, your rules are preserved for when you reactivate. On uninstall, only this pluginÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s data is removed. If you havenÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t cleaned the legacy data, Jetpack can still read your original rules. ### Can I use multiple conditions on a single widget? Yes. You can add multiple conditions and choose whether ALL conditions must match( AND logic) or just ONE condition needs to match (OR logic). ### Does this plugin slow down my site? No. The plugin is optimized for performance with intelligent caching. Assets only load on admin widget screens, and frontend checks are minimal and cached. ### Does this require a WordPress.com connection? No. This plugin works completely standalone without any external connections or dependencies. ### Does this work with full site editing (FSE) themes? This plugin is designed for widget areas (sidebars, footers, etc.). Full Site Editing themes typically donÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t use traditional widget areas Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá:– instead, they manage all content through the Site Editor using template parts and blocks. If your FSE theme includes widget areas, the plugin will work in those areas. If you need conditional visibility for blocks in FSE templates, you would need a different solution designed for the Site Editor. ### How does time scheduling work? Time scheduling allows you to show or hide widgets during specific date and time ranges. This is ideal for: * **Promotional banners** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Display ads only during sale periods * **Seasonal content** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Show holiday greetings or seasonal offers automatically * **Flash sales** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Schedule countdown widgets for limited-time deals * **Event announcements** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Display event info until the event date passes * **Time-sensitive notices** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Show maintenance warnings or temporary announcements You can configure: * **Show only during period** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Widget appears only between the start and end dates * **Hide during period** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Widget is hidden between the start and end dates * **No end date** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Widget starts showing from a specific date and continues indefinitely The schedule uses your WordPress timezone setting (Settings > General). If you also have visibility rules configured (like “show only on homepage”), both conditions must be met Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – the widget will only appear on the homepage AND within the scheduled time range. ### How does the taxonomy selector work on sites with many taxonomies? When you select “Taxonomy” as a condition, a second dropdown appears where you pick the specific taxonomy (e.g., Product Category, Color, Size). Only then does the third dropdown show the terms for that taxonomy. This cascading approach makes it much faster to find the right term on WooCommerce sites or any site with many custom taxonomies. For hierarchical taxonomies, you can also check “Include children” to automatically match all child terms of the selected term. ### Can I import my rules from Widget Logic? Yes, both from Widget Logic 5.x and 6.x — they use the same storage format in the database. When the plugin detects Widget Logic data, youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ll see a notice and a section in Appearance > Widget Visibility > Import / Export. The importer shows each widget that had Widget Logic code, the original PHP, and the rule we extracted. For widgets whose code we canÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t translate automatically, you decide per widget: import as always visible, import as always hidden, or skip. ### What Widget Logic functions are supported on import? Phase 1 supports the most common conditional tags: is_home, is_front_page, is_single( for posts), is_singular (with a post type), is_page (with ID or slug), is_category, is_tag, is_author, is_archive, is_search, is_404, is_date / is_day / is_month / is_year, is_user_logged_in, is_tax, is_post_type_archive, in_category, and has_tag. Combinations using only AND or only OR (not mixed) are supported. Mixed AND/OR trees, current_user_can, is_active_sidebar, code that uses variables or superglobals, and custom functions are not translated automatically — the importer asks you what to do per widget. ### Will my Widget Logic data be deleted after import? No. The original Widget Logic data stays in the database so you can roll back if needed. From Appearance > Widget Visibility > Import / Export you can delete it later with “Remove Widget Logic data”. ### Can I import my rules from Widget Options? Not yet. Widget Options stores its visibility data in a format thatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá:’ s very different from Widget Logic and Jetpack, and an importer is a separate effort. If you only used Widget Options for visibility, you can configure the equivalent rules in our plugin manually — the most common scenarios (pages, post types, taxonomies, user roles, login state) are all supported. ## Àwọn àgbéyẹ̀wò ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4ce628d6c37c97d8bf7dbe1779249bf47e702d3d1ce415f64d7423a96b2caae9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Another excellent plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-excellent-plugin-2/)󠁿 [Alain Aubry](https://profiles.wordpress.org/caban13/) Èbìbí 17, 2026 1 ìdáhùn Another excellent plugin—thank you! As expected from Fernando Tellado, this plugin is simple, focused, and does exactly what it promises without unnecessary complexity. I had been using another plugin for the same purpose, but it was full of ads, upsells, and artificially restricted features. After years of frustration, switching to this was a relief. What stands out the most: All features are available in the free version, with no hidden limitations. Clean and focused functionality—no bloat, just what you need. No external connections, tracking, or data collection, which is increasingly rare and very appreciated. If youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re looking for a lightweight and trustworthy solution for widget visibility control, this plugin is a solid choice. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1015a864deb5e9e809793ead209f4e37bd012c743a034dc96c7623834e9f02de? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-7325/)󠁿 [Themico](https://profiles.wordpress.org/themico/) Igbe 14, 2026 3 àwọn ìdáhùn The plugin works and is made for optimization.One ask Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – when there are many taxonomies (WC site) with many terms. When you select a Taxonomy, it takes minutes to find a term in the dropdown, because they are all listed in one dropdown.

Works with data from both Widget Logic 5.x and 6.x. * New: “Always” rule type for widgets that should always be shown or always be hidden (used by the Widget Logic import path). * New: Settings page redesigned with two tabs (Overview and Import / Export), an Overview “Visibility rules” summary card with total count plus a breakdown by source (Widget Logic / Jetpack / manual) and the last import date per source, and the AyudaWP promo banner at the bottom of each tab. * New: Wizard recognises previously imported widgets and adapts the copy (“X of Y already imported · Z pending” or “You already imported all of these”) instead of looking like a fresh task. * New: “Remove Widget Logic data” cleanup action in Import / Export. * Improved: Jetpack import card disables its actions when no legacy data remains in widget instances and explains the state clearly. * Improved: Editing a rule from the widget UI preserves its imported origin (Widget Logic / Jetpack) so the Overview breakdown stays accurate. * Fixed: False positive in the Jetpack data counter caused by writing a redundant copy of conditions inside widget instances. The plugin now keeps a single source of truth in its own option.
