Advanced Text Widget

2nd EDIT: The plugin has now been updated, so my original review stands.

1st EDIT: Even though this was a great plugin in its day, it hasn't been updated in over 2 years and was flagged as vulnerable to attack when I ran WPScan. I therefore can't recommend it for now.

Original review: Can't imagine building a WordPress site without this, it's normally the first plugin one I install. Makes adding custom content to sidebars on a per-page basis an absolute breeze. Very flexible, you can type PHP and shortcodes in the text area and it displays whatever you want. A must have for any WordPress site developer.

Essential plugin for all my sites

Text widget with raw PHP support and conditional visibility settings. Flexible conditional options with ability to edit and add custom conditions.
