<p>IMPORTANT: This plugin will NOT function after the Widgets screen overhaul that is part of WordPress 5.8 unless you use the Classic Widgets plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/). The plugin will continue to be supported/maintained for those using Classic Widgets, but there are no plans to make Conditional Widgets work once Widgets are Blocks.</p>
<p>This plugin adds a form to each widget on the Widgets panel which allows users to choose which pages and/or categories the widget is either displayed on or hidden from.</p>
<p>For each widget, you can choose criteria to either SHOW or HIDE the widget, based on a number of categories.  The interface is quite intuitive, and requires no knowledge of php or conditional tags.</p>


Conditional Widgets

Easily control the display of widgets based on pages or categories

Page Builder by SiteOrigin


Despite using the block editor on any (new) website, I'm still using SiteOrigin's on 3 customers pages (since 8+ years) …



The developers have done a very good job in developing a clean, easily usable and esp. non-techy-user-friendly editor. Like others (i.e. Elementor), this editor is not bloated, just works (never had any problems) and has a very good feature set.


"Legacy", but very good

Build responsive page layouts using the widgets you know and love using this simple drag and drop page builder.
