[Plugin: Widget Context] can't target page by URL

GREAT PLUGIN!

Tks!

+1 to TakeoK
+4 to jpmorganjr

Thanks you guys! I was about to yell at someone… ?? Now someone is safe.

Just for my own sanity, I want to double check and make sure I am doing everything correct:

I changed the code jpmorganjr suggested.

I am entering the URL like this: /center/facilities_theretreat/ omitting the http and domain name.

I am clicking on the “Show on selected”

Am I missing something because it sure isn’t working for me… i would love if it would.

You are welcome everyone!

Preston, try it without the trailing slash at the end.

You can try these three options to see if you can get it working:

/with/trailing/slash/
/without/trailing/slash
/with/slash/and/star/*

Let me know what happens!

Just wanted to say a personal thanks to jpmorganjr and TakeoK for helping others get this plugin working. Your assistance here is much appreciated and makes this such a great community!

Cheers Kaspars. Any chance you can integrate the changes into the actual plugin? I don’t know how to do it.

I would love to see the plugin get updated – It’
s mandatory on every site we do now…

Actually, @kaspars I wonder if you might allow us to integrate your installation with our own plugin? – We’ve added a couple of other indispensable plugins too (with their permission of course) – https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-wp-core-tweaks/

@jpmorganjr and the winner is “/without/trailing/slash”.

I also added a title to the widget which might have helped it function properly.

Thanks!

Also be aware that the “or target by URL” section is case sensitive… The URL has to look exactly like it looks in the web browser.

(ie. /without/trailing/slash = /without/trailing/slash AND /without/Trailing/Slash = /without/Trailing/Slash)

I’m pretty disappointed that this plugin has stopped working correctly. I can no longer target all posts in a category such as category/books/* (or any variation that you’d think would work). It seems like it’s only stopped working after the last update of WordPress.

Any news or a planned release for .8 version? Maybe making targeting urls simpler?

+1 to jpmorganjr!

I can’t get target URL to work either, I have tried all of these:

/legal_education/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-for-online-video/
legal_education/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-for-online-video/
/legal_education/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-for-online-video
legal_education/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-for-online-video

this is the only page I want this widget to show up on but I can’t get it working for the life of me. I have nothing selected to the left, the only thing I have selected is “show on selected”.

I have tried with the updated code and with out. I have tried with the full URL and various combinations. I have the latest WP version. I have no idea how to get this working, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

User jpmorganjr’s fix and just enter “/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-for-online-video” and see if that fixes it for you. What’s your site address? That might be helpful if you are still having problems.

it’s on my local machine currently. I just tried it and no cigar :/
would it be the WP version?
