This plugin has been my savior. The only problem is it has not been updated in over 4 years. Can you please update this plugin to make it more useful with the current wp version and seal loopholes for hackers
]]>Hi,
This plugin has not been updated for over two years and the developers have not replied to support requests in this forum for over 6 months.
Please let us know what’s going on so that we can either be reassured or use a different plugin.
Thanks.
]]>Hello.
Thanks for your great work.
Can I ask you if the plugin is still maintained or will not be updated in the futur ?
Thanks again!
]]>Hi,
I’ve been using the Restrict Widgets app for a while without any issues, so thanks!
I recently updated the theme and I can’t get the restrict widgets to save on a theme generated widget. I displays the most recent articles.
It saves fine for a plain WordPress text widget, so I can rule out that.
The Display / Hide Widget option appears but when I select hide on- mobile then hit save, I see the WordPress spinning circle. It ends abruptly with flash from the menu, and then doesn’t save.
If you got any ideas? Suggestions that would be fantastic! : )
Thanks!
Jim
Hi, we’re using Restrict Widgets 1.3.1 on WordPress 4.9.5. During some unrelated testing I noticed a PHP notice being logged for the plugin. It appears to happen when a widget is first added to a sidebar and saved without setting any widget restrictions.
PHP Notice: Undefined index: widget_multiselect in [path redacted]/wp-content/plugins/restrict-widgets/restrict-widgets.php on line 1273
Looks like it just needs an isset() check added to the if statement.
Thanks for your work on this plugin. We really appreciate it.
]]>Hi,
I was wondering if this plugin can be updated to support hiding/displaying based on user roles. I think it’d be a great addition, thanks!
Hi,
I see the control is nice but I think its missing more options to control where to show or hide.
So is there any way to make.. Show widget on “XYZ” post type and hide on specific pages.
So Basically now the Display OR hide working fine. But Its good to have Display And hide.
Some error msgs here too:
Notice: screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 3841
Notice: get_screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 3841
]]>Hello,
The plugin conflicts with the latest versions of WP (4.9.1) and breaks the Customizer.
Any thoughts?
See the screenshot bellow, these are the error messages thrown in console.
Screenshot from my dev environment
Uncaught Error: No select2/compat/dropdownCss
Apparently the issue is with select2 being loaded.
Can you please suggest a solution for the issue?
Thank you.
]]>I want that kind of plugin but I want to restrict Widget on pages IF Posts are shorter then ex 800 words. Can you add such thing to this plugin? I encountered that kind of plugin for displaying Ads.
]]>Hey,
when using custom widget display settings by applying logic with the rw_display_widget() filter hook and activating the modification of the is_active_sidebar() WP function of your plugin, i realized that the modified display value of the filter has no effect on this part which results in an empty sidebar being display in the theme.
So basically you’d need to call the restrict_widget() function with an enabled filters parameter in restrict-widgets.php on line 579 like so:
$this->widgets[substr( $widget_id, 7 )] = $this->restrict_widget( $widget, true, array( 'widget_id' => substr( $widget_id, 7 ) ) );
why is this not respecting the filter here?
i modified the code to make it work with our project but would like to know if it has any side effects and if it doesn’t, if you’d add this change to the next plugin update.
thanks!
]]>Hello and thank you for a great plugin.
Unfortunately, I have some problems when using this plugin with another one (WooCommerce Show Single Variations). If both of plugins are activated, shop sidebar just disapears. In debug mode WordPress is showing this notice:
Notice: Array to string conversion in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/restrict-widgets/restrict-widgets.php on line 1485
Could you please help me figure out what is wrong.
Best regards,
Alexander.
The Restricte Widget dropdown fields overlap the image select/edit popups in the new core Image widget.
]]>Hi,
I’m using this plugin to show certain widgets only on the frontpage. I don’t want them to show up anywhere else. No posts, no pages. So far, the restriction is working well except one thing I noticed:
When using the wordpress internal funktion do hide widgets, the widget area I’m using is not even displayed. When using the plugin, the area (which has a different background defined) shows but it’s empty.
My intention is not only hiding the widget (which works nice) but also not showing the widget area (which works with WP itself, but WP won’t include custom post types). Is this actually possible?
Sorry if this was already asked.
Can I restrict widgets based on individual posts? I don’t see specific posts appearing when trying to select them in the settings. Thanks!
]]>I have installed Restrict Widgets plugin and in the Display / Hide Widget section under users I see only Logged in user/Logged out users. IN your screenshots I see that you can select in User options as Admin, Editor etc.
How I can activate this option as I want some widgets to be viewable only by the admin and not all logged in users.
Thank you
]]>Hi there,
I can see there is a possibility to show/hide on single cpt but not to do it on a specific cpt. Is there currently a way to instead insert an id or filter by the custom post type?
]]>Drop-down menu and pop-up of matching pages open behind the widget itself, making this plugin almost impossible to use.
]]>Hello,
Iv been using your widget for some time now and i recently updated to a new version. Since i have done this your widget displays within widgets when editing a page.
I use a plugin called page builder which creates columns and rows and then you add widgets to them. I only need your widget to display when viewing the menu > appearance > widgets.
Is there a function i can add that would limit it to only show on this page?
Thanks
Graeme
The 1.3.0 update stripped out the parameters for each widget on my Twenty Twelve theme. It is a small website so I just re-entered the data. My other site, using the same theme with 100+ pages, fortunately, was not affected.
]]>Hi guys,
Does anyone know if Restrict Widgets is compatible with PHP 7?
It is over 1 year old now but I did notice that the plugin author was planning an update some 4 months ago?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Michael
Please update select display/hide for woocommerce category, please.
Thank you so much.
Using the OSWAD theme the widgets are not published.
]]>I hope that one day it will works with woocommerce.
]]>even I disabled all other installed plugins for trouble shooting purposes, somehow your plugin is not responding. Anyway, thank you very much for your efforts!
P.S: For the case, you want to take a look for finding the hack, I left the plugin activated on my site https://www.geldgefluester.org
best regards!
Installed this widget,
Its not working on my i-craft theme.
Are there compatibility issues with other themes?
]]>One of your screenshots shows Categories as an option, but I don’t have that in my list of options. All I have are single categories.
How do I restrict a widget in *all* categories at once?
]]>Is this compatible with the latest WP version?
I see it hasn’t been updated in 8 months…
Hey,
just downloaded your Plugin and trying it out. First thing I noticed was that I dont see a hierarchy on Pages etc. would be great if that was implemented. Also is it possible to add the function to filter on custom taxonomy terms? So when I have a custom Taxonomy like Categories and I add a bunch of categories I want to display certain widgets only on certain categories.
Another thing I just noticed: Even when only displaying a widget on one page for example, the widget area somehow gets displayed on every page which results in white space in my case its the sidebar so it is kinda active but without content…
Thanks and keep it up ??
]]>This plugin behaves very strange, If you are using plugin like w3tc, you get all kinds of crazy random stuff happening. For example some pages don’t hide or show the widgets you are hiding while some others do. Same goes with mobile and desktop rules using this plugin
any ideas how to fix this?
]]>I want to show a widget only for posts in a selected category. Using the Display / Hide Widget to Display widget on selected for a selected category results in the widget not being displayed at all anywhere.
