Works better than the rest
by rsurfer·2 years ago
This is the only plugin that actually let me target by URL. Other plugins apparently could, but none worked for me. This was the last plugin I was willing to try before giving up. The interface is also simple and intuitive. I hope to see this plugin become more popular!

It appears this plug-in no longer works.

I tried other plugins and not fullfil my needs.
But, If Widget – Visibility control for Widgets is the only exceptions.
The main of my need is restrict widget for certain user role, then this plugin solved my problem.
Works fine but missing….

Plugin works fine but would be nice if I could choose something like:
If post id is…, or if category id is…., if tag is….
Or is it possible and I‘m searching too far?
cheers
