Widget Visibility Work Around in Conflicting Themes

    The JetPack Plugin “Widget Visibility” failed to work properly in the YITh theme Socute using WooCommerce plugins.

    Problem:
    Using the “Hide – if” then selecting any option, the plugin fails to hide that widget feature on any of the selected locations in the WordPress install.

    WorkAround
    Choose instead “Show – if” selection, then choose which pages or locations where you want the specific widget to appear. This works the same as hide only that you have to specify the all the pages / blog you want to have the widget appear.

    Yes this is more work to overcome the conflict between Jetpack and the theme, but it worked for me. Of course if its a theme issue for you and the work around did not resolve the issue, then you have to contact the theme author and get it fixed, assuming it was a premium theme.

    Thanks for the tip, Mark! Was is just related to that specific theme/WooCommerce set up?

    So far its just the YIT Socute / WooCommerce theme. I have not experienced this bug in any other theme I have used so far, but compared to the thousands of WP themes out there, that is not much to say.

    I am finding it too much of a hassle to deal with support at YIT unless I have to. (Its a premium theme and so many bugs and issues, yuck! :/)

    That’s not good! Although, happy to hear that it’s isolated to only that theme!

    Let us know if we can help with anything related to the Jetpack plugin in the future!
