Widgets Control is a toolbox that features visibility management for all widgets, sidebars, sections of content and content blocks.
It allows to
show widgets and sidebars based on conditions - you can choose to show them only on certain pages or exclude them from being displayed.
Sections of content can also be restricted by using this plugin's
[widgets_control]
shortcode.
You can also define new WYSIWYG
Content Blocks that can be used in widgets, sidebars and with shortcodes.
For each widget and sidebar, you can decide where it should be displayed:
- show it on all pages
- show it on some pages
- show it on all except some pages
... you can target small, medium or large screens for mobile, tablet and desktop users.
To include or exclude pages, the plugin allows you to indicate page ids, titles or slugs and tokens that identify the front page, categories, tags, etc.
In addition to page ids, titles and slugs, these tokens can be used to determine where a widget should or should not be displayed:
[home] [front] [single] [page] [category] ...
On sites using
WPML, widgets can be shown conditionally based on the language viewed.
The
[widgets_control]
shortcode is used to embed content and show it conditionally similar to the visibility options used for widgets and sidebars.
For example,
[widgets_control conditions="{archive}"]This text is shown only when the content is displayed on an archive page.[/widgets_control]
.
Widgets Control also provides
flexible WYSIWYG Content Blocks and a proper widget that can be used to place them in sidebars,
the
[widgets_control_content]
shortcode to embed freely created blocks anywhere on your pages and
API functions that allow to include these blocks in PHP templates of your theme.
For even more flexible control, use
Widgets Control Pro which provides freely definable additional sidebars.
Use display conditions to show or hide content on devices with small, medium or large displays, useful to adapt the display to
mobile, tablet and desktop viewers.
See the
documentation for more details.
Widgets Control works with virtually any widget. It is compatible with lots of plugins, among these it has been tested with:
Widgets Control Pro
Our
Widgets Control Pro provides additional features:
- Conditions based on the viewed post type. For example, show a widget only on posts with
[type:post]
or only on product pages with [type:product]
- Show or hide widgets on full page hierarchies, where conditions are based on a parent page and all its child pages:
some-page/*
- Show or hide widgets based on user roles. For example, show a widget to subscribers and customers only:
[role:subscriber,customer]
- Show or hide widgets based on a user's group membership with Groups. For example, show a widget only to registered users with
[group:Registered]
or show a widget only to users in a Premium group using [group:Premium]
- Show or hide widgets for archive pages of a specific post type. For example,
[archive:product]
can be used to show widgets for the WooCommerce shop page and product archives only.
- Allows to specify exclusions. For example, to show a widget only on pages, but exclude it from being shown on one or more specific pages.
- Provides additional sidebar features that allow to define any number of custom sidebars, flexible placement based on common locations, including above and below content, the comment form, menus and other sidebars, the
[widgets_control_sidebar]
