Jetpack 4.7 upgrade removes widget visibility’s original settings

I’m sorry to hear you’ve run into issues.

Could you give me a few examples of the visibility rules you had applied to your site? Could you also post a screenshot of the Widget Visibility rules as they appear on your site right now?

Additionally, it also appears that the “post type” option that once existed as an option to select from is no longer available.

I was able to reproduce this issue, and took note of it here:
https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/6595

In the meantime, you should be able to recreate the rule by choosing “Page”, then your Post type.

Let me know how it goes.

After reviewing my other test sites, which I use widget visibility on, it doesn’t matter which rule I was originally using. No matter the rules set, all original (visual) visibility settings that I originally had selected have disappeared, but still remain in tact on the front end. Additionally, after viewing jetpack 4.6 visibility options (on my non-updated test sites) I have determined which visibility rules I specifically would have selected for my original issues, they are as follows…

Show if…

Post Type – Single Post: Job
Post Type – Archive Page: Archive of Jobs
Taxonomy – Sales Jobs

Note: Out of the above setting options, the only available existing setting option in version 4.7 is the “Taxonomy” option. The other options, “Post Type – Single Post” & “Post Type – Archive Page“, are no longer able to be selected within the widget visibility settings. These above mentioned settings are being used on custom post types I created.

Recreating the rule by choosing “Page” then “Post Type” is fine, but unfortunately that does not allow me to specifically select the “Single Post” of post type or the “Archive Page” of post type in which that case, my widget doesn’t display where I need it to.

Since we’re discussing this via email as well, let’s continue the conversation there!

Could you give me an example in a reply to my last email, so I can take a closer look?

Thanks!

same thing happen to us after the update

Could you try to update to Jetpack 4.7.1? It should solve the issue!
