    Hi,
    great plug-in! Can you help me?
    I try to hide the Categories Widget just from one page (id172)and show it on all other pages of the website.
    What is the code?
    Thanks !

    look at the examples on http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/other_notes/

    I was wondering how to get a widget to appear on multiple pages by indicating which specific page id’s i want the widget to appear on. how is this done?

    This is a great plug in :)

    @ hershal

    you could use PHP’s logical OR operators like this

    is_page(‘about-me’) || is_page(’42′) || is_page(‘About Me And Joe’)

    or if you read http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags you’ll see you can do the slightly more PHP-savvy but simpler

    is_page(array(42,’about-me’,'About Me And Joe’))

    This is one of the most useful plugins installed on my blogs. :-D

    I have just one question:
    How can I exclude just one page and show the widget on all other pages (home, single, page)?

    I have looked at the examples on the suggested WP site, but still don’t have a clue what code to add to the widget logic box.

    Can you please help me out?

    Greetz!

    add a ! on the front, which means NOT in PHP

    !is_home()

    etc. i will add this to the plugins FAQ on the wordpress plugins site

    Alan,

    Love the widget Logic plug-in. Quick question though. I have been having problems with the speed of my site. I want to blame the host, they want to blame my plug-ins (I did go crazy with plug-ins when I started building my site). Since my site is so dynamic, at least the sidebar, I really can’t use a cache, or at least I don’t know how to use it with my sidebar and your plug-in.

    So 2 questions:
    1. Do conditional tags slow down the page loading by making additional calls to the database, or are conditional tags just reading the data que from the last query?

    2. Do you no of a way to be able to use your plug-in and WP Cache. WP Super Cache I don’t believe will help me since most of my users log in when they visit.

    thanks.
34. Alan on 6 November 2008 #

    1 – i don’t believe so, no. if you look in wp-includes/query.php you’ll see a lot of the conditional tags code there. and they all do fairly simple manipulations of already established query results. is_home for instance is just

    global $wp_query; return $wp_query->is_home;

    and so on

    2 – the plugin doesn’t have any problem working with wp cache. unless you are using conditional tags that will produce different results over time.

    This looks like a fantastic plugin, can’t wait to try it out. It looks a bit like Ozh who sees ads, but your plugin seems more easy to use.

    Thanks a bunch.

    Hi there, is there a way to make a text/html widget on my blog appear only to me (as an admin) or to (logged in users) using this plugin?
37. Alan on 6 December 2008 #

    You can use the current_user_can(‘capability’) function, like this guy did:

    Is this working on 2.7? I keep getting an error when I update anything site wide.
    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/gvegason/public_html/krah/wp-content/themes/fresh-editorial/functions.php:15) in /home/gvegason/public_html/krah/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850
39. admin on 16 December 2008 #

    it’s working on my 2.7 install yes. what happens when you switch to the standard theme? as it looks like something in the functions.php of your “fresh-editorial” theme is where the problem starts
40. Lesson Plans for Life † on 23 December 2008 #

    This is exactly what I was looking for, but am having some slight issues. If I do is_category(‘fun’) the widget shows up when visiting page http://mydomain/category/fun/ but doesn’t show up on post in the category with urls http://mydomain/fun/post1

    Please help.

    Thanks,
    Eric
41. admin on 23 December 2008 #

    you want to use is_category for category pages and in_category for posts that are in specified categories

    the pages at WP, specifically http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags are very useful on points like this
42. Lesson Plans for Life † on 23 December 2008 #

    Thanks for your reply! I should have done a little more research before asking.

    Hi-Thanks for all the useful information and the plugin–Andy

    Hi Alan,

    I’m trying to get this to work with TTFTitles, but I keep getting errors. Since I’m still pretty much a n00b at php, could you help me out? I copied and pasted the codes (add_filter and the function) in my theme’s functions.php file, but I keep getting ‘unexpected’ errors. Here’s my code:

    add_filter('the_ttftext', 'ttftext_widget_title', [priority], 2);

    function ttftext_widget_title($content='', $widget_id='')
{ preg_match("/]*>([^<]+)/",$content, $matches))
$heading=$matches[1];
$insert_img=the_ttftext( $heading, false );
$content=preg_replace("/(]*>)[^<]+/","$1$insert_img",$content,1);
return $content;
}

    Thanks in advance :)
45. Chanty † on 27 December 2008 #

    Oh never mind, I fixed it myself :) There seemed to be an error in the filter for ttftitles, here’s the fixed version:

    function ttftext_widget_title($content='', $widget_id='')
{ preg_match("/]*>([^<]+)/",$content, $matches);
$heading=$matches[1];
$insert_img=the_ttftext( $heading, false );
$content=preg_replace("/(]*>)[^<]+/","$1$insert_img",$content,1);
return $content;
}

    $matches was closed with )) instead of );

    One more thing though: what is meant with [priority]? I removed it to get rid of the “unexpected ‘]’” error.
46. Alan on 27 December 2008 #

    oops! i hadn’t noticed that extra ) in the TTFcode before – it should be a semi-colon instead. (which is otherwise missing!)

    [priority] is the optional parameter that you can give when you register with add_filter – it allows you to set order of filtering routines if needed.

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter

    thanks for pointing both these out – i will try to remember to update the official WP repository
47. Chanty † on 28 December 2008 #

    Okay thanks! :)
48. Illya † on 30 December 2008 #

    This is such a great plugin. I thought I would have to code a whole new sidebar for every page other than my index page and this theme has solved my problems effortlessly. Your work on this plugin is greatly appreciated at ilapko.com. Thanks!
49. admin on 30 December 2008 #

    :-)

    remember you can still define different sidebars to be invoked by different template files (home.php, single.php. etc)
50. Martha † on 31 December 2008 #

    I’m trying to figure out the right widget logic to use to display a widget only on a page or a sub-page of that page. I took a look at WP’s conditional tag information, and figured it is some variation upon

    ( is_page(‘title’) || $post->post_parent == ‘xx’ )

    But nothing I try seems to work. Any tips?
