Function to check for visibility

    Hi, is there a plugin function I could use to check for widgets to be allowed for a page?

    I currently use the wordpress function “is_active_sidebar” which returns true if widgets are assigned to it. But it misses the fact that the widgets might be disallowed via the dynamic widgets plugin.

    You can check if the widget is (going to be) removed in the $DW->removelist array

    Hi thanks for your reply. That did the trick!

    I am using the following in my themes functions.php:

    function sidebar_has_active_widgets($sidebar) {
  include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );
  if ( is_plugin_active('dynamic-widgets/dynamic-widgets.php') ) {
    $DW = &$GLOBALS['DW'];
    if (!empty($sidebar) && is_array($DW->removelist) && array_key_exists($sidebar, $DW->removelist)) {
      return false;
    }
  }
  return true;
}
