Hello,

i find this to be the best plugin out there of its type. And find it very handy to use the short space we have for widgets.

Regards

Hi – thanks for getting back to me
The weather widget is GoGadget Weather and Weatherforecast Widget.
I used this one because it comes in French and the weather underground forecast for Agen(our local town), France is always very accurate.

I am using an artisteer generated design for the site.

I installed the wigit logic widget and then the goGadgetweather widget and several others including text widgets to appear in the sidebar. Widget logic works for the others but not for the weather one.I fill in the options for the weather widget and then the logic box with
is_page(‘home’)
just like the others then when I press save it disappears – poouf!

I tried everything reinstalling, re-activating ticking and unticking the widget logic boxes at the bottom etc but nothing worked, however I have found a temporary solution.

Following the instructions in the GoGadget manual I activated a shortcode plugin for the weather widget and put it in a text widget. The widget logic code does work with text widgets so I was able to program it to only show on the home page. This is working for now, but it would be nice to have it working properly.

If you send me an e-mail I will send you the login so you can have a look for yourself.
Many thanks
Penelope

On the off chance that Braudis, looks back in, it would be great if you could sketch out what went wrong, in case anyone else sees something similar. It’s not something that the code update should have caused.

Penelope, i’d have to look at the widget you are using. If it’s http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/weather-widget/ i’ll have a quick look soon

Hi
I’m trying to get the weather widget to only appear on the home page of my wordpress site http://moti.org/blog/

I have installed the widget logic plugin so that I can choose the pages that widgets appear on. This works just fine for all the other widgets except for the weather widget.

What happens is that when I fill in the widget logic box for the weather widget and press update the instruction just disappears. Consequently the meteo appears on every page with a sidebar which is not what I want. I think there must be a conflict or a bug somewhere.

Can you help with a simple solution?
Many thanks
Penelope

BTW, I’m really not a php person, which is why your plugin is so great. It makes a great deal easier. I appreciate the fact that it’s free, but this really is not a complaint, it’s an observation. If I need to use code to correct the problem, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the ease and simplicity of the plugin?

I’m perplexed. I’ve successfully used your great plugin up until now. No problems. I updated today and not only did all my widgets disappear (including those that were inactive and required editing) but all of my sidebars and new widget areas that I created. It’s not the theme (atahualpa). Is this an example of fixing something that (to me anyway) wasn’t broken? Please, what’s the solution?

I am having the same problem on my site. How do you alter the theme to get rid of that text especially if my text is not showing up there?

By: admin

admin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:11:49 +0000

by the sound of it no widgets are appearing. it is common for a theme to have default text when there are no widgets, and in this case the “This is the Primary Sidebar Widget Area…” text is that default text.

If you want rid of that text your options are to alter the theme or to make a single widget appear – one that might be minimal in content/appearance

Hi I have the following show up on my sidebar:

Primary Sidebar Widget Area

This is the Primary Sidebar Widget Area. You can add content to this area by visiting your Widgets Panel and adding new widgets to this area.

I have the following formula on the widgets I don’t want appearing: !is_page( array ( ‘Find a Spa’, ‘Find a Class’, ‘Find Yoga’, ‘Get a Facial’, ‘Get a Massage’, ‘Editorial Calendar’, ‘Spas Near You’ ) )

Please advise what I should do to have the widgets not appear. Thank you.

try again – it might have been a partial download or something. i’ve had about 5000 downloads (of the recent 0.51 update) so far, and most people are feeding back positively.

I updated Widget Logic this morning and my site immediately started giving a 500 internal server error. Had to remove it manually. Site OK again now. Would love to use the plugin but it’s causing problems!

I have a question. How to I target a page that I setup in wp to display my blog posts. I have a page for that and a specific page for my home page. I tried both is_post() and is_page() with the page id and the slug, neither of which seemed to work.

Thanks!

@Simon Booton-Mander – use the following:

!is_front_page()

will show the targeted widget everywhere but the designated home page (or front page setting of the WP site).

hth.

Hi Freaky Trigger,
I have widget logic running and love it, it works a treat. But I am stumped for a tag for the homepage. The home page dose not seem to have a name or tag, could you suggest a tag that will keep one of my widgets form showing on the homepage please?

Many thanks,
Simon.

you are after a !’d variation on the “How do I get a widget to appear both on a category page and on single posts within that category?” in the FAQ

Hello,
Please could you help me with something, as I find it quite confusion.
OK, so I don’t want a widget to appear in a certain category… I have done that successfully with the following:

!is_category(19)

But obviously that is only for the “category”… This does not apply to the “posts” within that category.

What would be the complete code to block the widget within both the category and every post in that particular category?

Thank you.

no, not weird! that’s exactly right.

the first one, not search OR not 404, will ALWAYS be true on every page (will only be true if a page is both 404 and search!)

the second one, not search AND not 404, will only be true when the page is not a 404 and not a search.

Not sure if this is an issue or not but when I use
!is_search() || !is_404()
widgets appear on both Search and 404 pages. Though, if I use
!is_search() && !is_404()
widgets do not appear on either of the 404 or Search pages. Weird, no?

Hi
Thanks for the great plugin. However I have a question. I’m trying to put up a widget using conditional tags in a theme where I use custom post types. For some reason it doesn’t seem to work. I tried multiple combinations

Usually for category 33 I would use is_category(’33′). I tried is_video_category(’33′) (which is the custom post template) but that brings back a fatal error so it’s not that. Any ideas?

Thank you
