Widget Display Conditions

<p>Context Manager makes your site behave differently depending on the current user’s context. Using the simple point-and-click admin pages, there are four different ways your site can react:</p>
<ol>
<li>Include and exclude CSS and JavaScript files</li>
<li>Changing the behaviour of menu items</li>
<li>Hiding widgets in sidebars</li>
<li>Adding extra classes to the <code><body></code> tag.</li>
</ol>
<p>The plugin supersedes <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/menu-rules/" rel="ugc">Menu Rules</a></p>
<h4>Example usage</h4>
<p>A website has e-commerce shopping functionality driven by a custom post type called ‘products’. There’s an archive page called ‘shop’ that lists products and is linked to in the main navigation menu.</p>
<p>A user visits ‘shop’ and the menu item becomes ‘active’, but when they click through to an individual product, the menu item loses its state. The user becomes lost.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/context-manager/installation/" rel="ugc">Install</a> the Context Manager plugin</li>
<li>Add a new context rule</li>
<li>Give it a meaningful name in the title field. This is just for administration purposes</li>
<li>In the <em>conditions</em> field enter <code>is_singular( 'product' )</code></li>
<li>Choose <em>Emulate current page as a child but do not create a menu item.</em> as the menu rule</li>
<li>Find your products page in the menu dropdown</li>
</ol>
<p>On the product page, there are irrelevant widgets that distract the user from making a purchase.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hide irrelevant widgets under the <em>widgets</em> reaction</li>
</ul>
<p>The whole shop section requires its own colour scheme, but there’s no common class that ties all the pages together.</p>
<ul>
<li>Enter <code>shop-section</code> class name in the <em>body class</em> reaction. Or alternatively, register another stylesheet using <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_style" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>wp_register_style()</code></a> in you theme’s <code>functions.php</code>.</li>
<li>Create </li>
</ul>
<p>Remember to click publish when you’re ready to save.</p>
<p>Have a look at <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/context-manager/screenshots/" rel="ugc">screenshots</a> to see the above setup in action.</p>
