It was an awesome plugin, too bad it isn’t working anymore and you get no support.
This is a great plugin, works as expected and you can’t be without it.
I would give a ten star if i could.
Thank you for the plugin.
Does what is says. Very good.
This is an excellent plugin for controlling where your widget appears.
Unfortunately it does not work well with the new Gutenberg Widget. For example, when you select the option for Show Wwidget on Selected, it no longer open a text field to insert your url.
I hope Kaspars release an update soon.
it works. that’s the important thing
however it’s a bit complicated to deal with
I wanted to simply include a widget in specific pages
but there is no such option
you can only decide based on the post type.
it’s surprising that selection based on page “slug” is not an option ! when it should be the most basic thing to use.
