Is there a tutorial on controlling widgets so they are not on all pages?
Hey Sharon,
There is a plugin from Wordpress.org called Widget Context. I haven't used it myself but here is the description from the plugin:
Widget Context allows you to show or hide widgets on certain sections of your site — front page, posts, pages, archives, search, etc. It also features section targeting by URLs (with wildcard support) for maximum flexibility.
And here is the link:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-context/
You could also do a search within your plugin section.
Best Regards,
Jim
Thank you! Did download the widget controller and will inactivate all widgets and then reinstall on the designated pages.
I really appreciate everyone's help and comments! That's the beauty of WA and the community.
Oh! Does widget-context work like a dream! Thank you so very much. The widget controller was a bit useless so deleted and used your suggestion. If this question comes up again - Please let everyone know that the widget-context is perfect! Thanks again for your help!!!
I'm guessing she means selected Widgets for selected pages. Not either all Widgets or none.
Correct! Mine did not. Did download a widget controller so have things under control. Thank you for your help!
Hi - I think what you are meaning is that you don't want the side bar to show on all pages (widgets in the Sidebar) - To do this you need to set the page to full width i.e. - Pages,Select desired Page, Edit, Page Attributes, Template and drop down - change selection to Full width and Update - Colin
Hi Colin. I followed your instructions up to the page attributes and then I only had the option to choose parent. Looks like my 20-13 theme does not support what you instructed. However; did download a widget controller. I will make all the widgets inactive and then reload on the designated pages. Thank you so much for helping. I think this will help a lot of us newbies! :-)
I'm not completely certain, but I haven't found a way to do that. Not sure if it's possible. If someone else has done this, please share.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I have so many that they are going though the bottom of my webpages and it doesn't look very good! EEK! I could either add more content or delete some of the widgets. Don't want to do either so hope we can both learn if there is a way! :-)
Hi Lindsey! Just wanted to let you know that techhound gave me the link to the wordpress widget-context and it worked like a dream! Hope it will help you somewhere down the line. :-)
