<p><strong>Tiny Widget Manager (TWIM)</strong> improves the WordPress widget system by allowing you to control each widget’s visibility directly from the admin panel.<br />
It’s a lightweight yet powerful tool that gives you full control over how and when widgets are displayed.</p>
<p>TWIM adds a simple interface below each widget for defining visibility rules. This provides site editors with a much smarter and more flexible way to manage widget visibility.</p>
<h4>Available show/hide conditions</h4>
<p>The power of TWIM lies in the variety of logic conditions it supports:<br />
– Show/hide on specific <em>page(s)</em><br />
– Show/hide on specific <em>post type(s)</em> (custom or built-in)<br />
– Show/hide on <em>archive</em> pages (category, tag, author, date)<br />
– Show/hide by <em>user</em> status (logged-in, logged-out, user roles)<br />
– Show/hide on <em>device</em> type (mobile, tablet, desktop)</p>
<h4>Global AND/OR setting for conditions</h4>
<p>For each widget, you can also define whether <em>all</em> conditions must be true or if <em>only one</em> is enough.<br />
Since each group of condtions has its own show/hide setting, combinations are nearly endless.</p>
<h4>Active conditions indicator</h4>
<p>When setting visibility conditions for each of your widgets, it can soon become difficult to understand which conditions have been set.<br />
TWIM provides a useful active condition indicator in the form of “eye” icons allowing you to check in a glance which conditions have been activated for a given plugin (see screenshots).</p>
<h4>Widget Class</h4>
<p>A dedicated input field allows you to add <em>custom CSS classes</em> to your widgets—no need for an additional plugin just for styling.</p>
<h4>Settings</h4>
<p>The settings page currently offers two options:<br />
– Restore the classic widget management screen (instead of the block-based “Widgets” editor — see <em>Limitations</em> below).<br />
– Choose the TWIM color theme for the admin interface.</p>
<h4>Limitations</h4>
<p>TWIM does not currently support the new block-based widget editor introduced in recent WordPress versions.<br />
If you want to use TWIM, you must switch to the <em>legacy widget interface</em> (this can be done from the plugin’s settings).</p>

<p>Guillotheme chops the front-end (i.e. the head) right off your theme by restricting access to the front-end (specifically, the WordPress-generated front-end permalinks). These are unnecessary in the case of a headless or decoupled set-up, and could potentially confuse non-technical users or other content editors when WordPress is being used headlessly (i.e. purely for its CMS capabilities).</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Designed to complement a headless setup.</li>
<li>Activate the plugin to automatically prevent access to WordPress-generated front-end permalinks.</li>
<li>For logged-in users, redirect back to the source page if the front-end is accessed (e.g. a post preview link within the editor will redirect back to the editor).</li>
<li>Non-logged in users are redirected to the login page.</li>
<li>Optionally use your own custom url for the redirect destination for both logged-in and logged-out users.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Development</h3>
<ul>
<li>Namespaced and object-oriented code.</li>
<li>Adheres to <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Coding Standards</a>.</li>
