<h4>Documentation</h4>
<p>Widget visibility can be configured under individual widget settings under “Appearance <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Widgets” in your WordPress administration area or through the widget editing interface in the Customizer.</p>
<h4>Target by URL</h4>
<p>The “Target by URL” is a powerful feature for targeting sections of your website based on the request URLs. It was inspired by a similar feature in the <a href="https://www.drupal.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Drupal CMS</a>.</p>
<p>Use relative URLs such as <code>page/sub-page</code> instead of absolute URLs <code>https://example.com/page/sub-page</code> because relative URLs are more flexible and make the logic portable between different domains and server environments.</p>
<h4>Wildcards</h4>
<p>Use the wildcard symbol <code>*</code> for matching dynamic parts of the URL. For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>topic/widgets/*</code> to match all posts in the widgets category, if your permalink structure is set to <code>/topic/%category%/%postname%</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>page-slug/*</code> to match all child pages of the page-slug parent page.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use a trailing <code>?*</code> to capture URL with all query arguments such as <code>utm_source</code>, etc. For example, for every <code>blog/post-slug</code> also include <code>blog/post-slug?*</code>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Exclude by URL</h4>
<p>Specify URLs to ignore even if they’re matched by any of the other context rules. For example, enter <code>example/sub-page</code> to hide a widget on this page even when “All Posts” is selected under “Global Sections”.</p>
