Jetpack Widget Visibility Extended

The Jetpack visibility module is appended to the bottom of all widgets (including 3rd parties). This plugin adds actions/filters so that plugin developers can add additional filters based on thier needs. See “Jetpack Widget Visibility – Query Args” and “Jetpack Widget visibility – WPML Languages” as two examples of what you can do with this enhancement.

This plugin doesn’t appear to do anything

This plugin itself does not add any user facing features. It adds the capability for theme/plugin developers to add additional options/fields to the Jetpack Widget Visibility Module.

What do I need to do to add options or fields within my theme/plugin

I recommend downloading the “Jetpack Widget Visibility – Query Args” and “Jetpack Widget Visibility – WPML Languages” companion plugins in order to mimic how they apply additional options/fields.

1. 

   WPML Language Example

2. 

   Display Widget only when search result equals this keyword

3. 

   set a custom query_var in your theme/plugin and it can be referenced within this key value pair.
