Widgets Control is a toolbox that features visibility management for all widgets, sidebars, sections of content and content blocks. 
It allows to show widgets and sidebars based on conditions – you can choose to show them only on certain pages or exclude them from being displayed.
Sections of content can also be restricted by using this plugin’s <code>[widgets_control]</code> shortcode.
You can also define new WYSIWYG Content Blocks that can be used in widgets, sidebars and with shortcodes.
For each widget and sidebar, you can decide where it should be displayed:
<ul>
<li>show it on all pages</li>
<li>show it on some pages</li>
<li>show it on all except some pages</li>
</ul>
… you can target small, medium or large screens for mobile, tablet and desktop users.
To include or exclude pages, the plugin allows you to indicate page ids, titles or slugs and tokens that identify the front page, categories, tags, etc.
In addition to page ids, titles and slugs, these tokens can be used to determine where a widget should or should not be displayed:
<pre><code>[home] [front] [single] [page] [category] ...
</code></pre>
On sites using <a href="https://wpml.org" rel="nofollow ugc">WPML</a>, widgets can be shown conditionally based on the language viewed.
The <code>[widgets_control]</code> shortcode is used to embed content and show it conditionally similar to the visibility options used for widgets and sidebars. 
For example, <code>[widgets_control conditions="{archive}"]This text is shown only when the content is displayed on an archive page.[/widgets_control]</code>.
Widgets Control also provides flexible WYSIWYG Content Blocks and a proper widget that can be used to place them in sidebars, 
the <code>[widgets_control_content]</code> shortcode to embed freely created blocks anywhere on your pages and 
API functions that allow to include these blocks in PHP templates of your theme. 
For even more flexible control, use <a href="https://www.itthinx.com/shop/widgets-control-pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">Widgets Control Pro</a> which provides freely definable additional sidebars.
Use display conditions to show or hide content on devices with small, medium or large displays, useful to adapt the display to mobile, tablet and desktop viewers.
See the <a href="http://docs.itthinx.com/document/widgets-control/" rel="nofollow ugc">documentation</a> for more details.

<h4>Documentation</h4>
Widget visibility can be configured under individual widget settings under “Appearance → Widgets” in your WordPress administration area or through the widget editing interface in the Customizer.
<h4>Target by URL</h4>
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>.
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.
<h4>Wildcards</h4>
Use the wildcard symbol <code>*</code> for matching dynamic parts of the URL. For example:
<ul>
<li>
<code>topic/widgets/*</code> to match all posts in the widgets category, if your permalink structure is set to <code>/topic/%category%/%postname%</code>.
</li>
<li>
<code>page-slug/*</code> to match all child pages of the page-slug parent page.
</li>
<li>
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>.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Exclude by URL</h4>
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”.

Widget Context

Show and hide widgets on specific posts, pages and sections of your site.
