Change your sidebar content with each page. Avoid creating multiple sidebars and duplicating widgets by adding check boxes to each widget in the admin (as long as it is written in WordPress version 2.8 format) which will either show or hide the widgets on every site page. Great for use with Thesis theme, or just to avoid extra coding.
Update: Please post issues and questions in the support forum

Works great, thank you
Works, but not with all of the widgets. ^(
It will only work with widgets written in WordPress version 2.8 format. Hopefully plugin developers will start rewriting their widgets in the new format. Sorry for the limitation.
You nailed it!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
(Question: Is there a limit to the number of pages that the plugin can list? I have 50 (fifty) pages with sidebars & widgets.)
Great job!
I’m so glad it’s working well for you now. Right now the page limit is set at 99, but I can increase it if needed.
Thanks so much for all your help!

Hey there. Great plugin, it should be integrated into WordPress.
Hi,
Great plug-in, works well, what I’d also really, really love to see, is if the feature could also be extended to categories. It would then be totally aaawesome, to be able to change ads in the sidebar depending on the category being displayed as an example.

Version 1.6 will be up within the next 15 minutes with category check boxes added. Donations are always welcome

Hi Steph, this has been a life saver and allowed me to use the sidebar with links as a sub nav for a site I am putting together for a friend.
Thanks so much.

Have you tried Flexi Pages Widget? It may be a lot easier for a sub nav widget.

Hi there, great plugin but it’s not working for me with a couple plugins:

@Steph :: A deep bow to you. This is one aspect of WP that I found so confining, and you unconfined it with a simple, elegant solution. A good part of my plugins are simple homegrown html, so no compatibility problems anticipated.
Thank you! I’m coming up out of my bow now.
Thanks for the flattering praise. There are days I wonder why I bother distributing and supporting free plugins (the $0.48 in adds and $75 in donations I’ve received just doesn’t cut it, even though it was all from one person), but you helped today to not be one of those. Thanks!

Hi,
You plugin looks like exactly what I need (actually I can’t beleive this is not a standard function in WP), but I can’t seem to find the check boxes to exclude. Am I doing something wrong?
Any help is appreciated. Definately worth 10 bucks if I can get it working.
Go to Appearance -> Widgets, and when you expand your widgets to edit them, you will see the additional check boxes on each widget.
Love the plugin. It’s very useful.
Thanks again for what is a crucial need for widgets.

I like this plugin. It would be nice if it had the option to show or hide the widget if you were logged in.
The plugin works fine with wordpress 3.0.1 too.
… definitely a “must have” plugin … Thanks for your great work …
Hardy from Berlin
Have been using Display Widgets since year dot and have never had any problems with it… It’s also on my list of “must have” plugins…
Keep up the great work guys…

I just updated the plug-in and I love it the new option to show or hide the widget if you were logged in or out is great! Just what I needed. Thanks for the Fabulous work.
Hi Steph, Thanks for this, it’s exactly what I needed on our page-intensive site for my partner’s Complementary Healthcare practice.. Donation sent
(the site will be live from 4 January). Great work!
Thx for putting so much time into your WP plugins. Display Widgets is a real time saver. Again, thx.
Unfortunately it does not work with all widgets
Don’t know if there is a special trick a widget must include to be compatible with, but there are definitely important widgets out there that are left completely unaffected by this plugin
Fantastic Plug-in. in reading the comments and over 50K downloads, Nice. I am trying to use it with WP 3.1.2 Theme: Redline ver 1.6 and Cincopa1.106 (cincopa.com) a Plug-in for displaying media. Though you should know about this. Your plug-in is a great feature. It would be really great if you would consider looking into this further, perhaps there is a solution that could be applied without to much work on your end? In any event congratulations on a great Plug-in. All the best.
OOOOPS— In reading my previous post about your Plug-in, you can sense the enthusiasm in my comments-I forgot to mention the main point. YOUR PLUG-IN DOES NOT WORK with the Redline theme and Cincopa Plug-in. The solution I referred to was to check and see what could be done to make this work with Redline and Cincopa Plug-in. Sorry for the reposting.
Wonderful Plugin!! However, a small problem when it comes to the archive page. It displays my calendar widget archives for all categories without further filtering by categories. I wonder how to fix this. If anyone has the solution, I’d be so grateful for it!!
Hi!
I don’t know how to use this plugin because don’t apear in my dashboard menu and.
I love this plug-in but I am having a hard making items show up on a single page. I am not the most code savvy person around so I thought you could point me towards some instructions. I have someone who has asked to have an entry only show up on a single page. Do I Comma use the “Separated list of IDs of posts not listed above” box at the end and enter in the “post=number”? I have copied part of the url here:
wp-admin/post.php?post=699&action=edit
Would I enter 699?
Thanks for the help
Yep. Enter 699 in the box.
Thanks for such a quick response. If I set it to “Show on Checked” and enter the 699 in the box – nothing shows up. Other than entering in the number, what other variables do I need to select?
Hi
Great work, but using it for specific IDs does not seem to work in 3.1.3.
Thx
Looks like I fixed this and never released it. Released now.
Hi Steph,
I’m a newbie and set up travelbart.com, using Genesis theme Simple Sideabars, but think your Display Widgets might be better and easier over the long run.
Problem: I’m so damned new, I installed your pluggin, but haven’t the foggiest how to find the panel to use it – and I’ve looked all over.
What’s the secret this newbie is missing?
thx,
Bart
Hi Steph,
I have tried to use the plugin with theme http://aquoid.com/news/themes/suffusion/ but it seems to break the widget page. I am fairly new to WordPress so although I will look into this myself I thought it may be worth letting you know.
hello Steph
thanks for your Display Widgets,but now I don’t kown how to use it still
thanks for your display widgets,I am able to set it.Do have a good time
Hi, Stephanie: I just updated Display Widgets to version 1.19. It’s great having access to custom taxonomies.
I noticed that the cursor function wasn’t working on the jQuery toggle function so I looked at the code and saw that “cursor” was spelled “custor”, which was causing the problem.
Also, any thought to adding a selection by term to DW?
Thanks for the awesome widget!
Doesn’t seem to work with WP 3.2 (tried on three different themes).
Chris
Please ignore what I wrote…seems to be specific to some themes. Also, I have should been more specific, sorry. The check boxes appear when in Widgets, but when you check to hide, they do not hide. Using the opposite, (show on checked) doesn’t work either (i.e., shows on all pages).
AGain, it works with WP 3.2 (using the default theme).
thanks,
Chris
It works…but its also broken. It will show or hide for the most part. But when using a plugin that allows you to put pages in categories, showing or hiding based on categories is broken and doesn’t work…so I have to manually show or hide…gets tedious.
After upgrading to the newest version of WordPress (3.2.1), I get all kinds of extra text boxes in widget box. The text entry boxes will have either a 1 or a 0 in it. Again, this only happened right after I upgraded to 3.2.1.
Steph
Just implemented Display Widgets for Thesis theme in WP 3.2.1 and it is working great so far. I’m happy to make a donation to help you keep up the development and support of this kind of great product – where do I go? Thanks!
Thanks so much! You can donate at http://strategy11.com/donate/
Great plugin – but a question that perhaps you can help with.
When the logic is hiding a widget – for example showing a promo only on the home page (using ‘Show on checked’ and checking ‘Front page’) – the widget is hidden, but the container markup id displayed – eg:
I’m using a custom child theme of Thematic.
I’m wondering if the issue is that the widget areas are being created based on the conditional:
is_active_sidebar(‘sidebar-name’)
and adding a widget to an area satifies this, even if your plugin is hiding it.
The problem this causes is partly styling – the container div still exists – and takes styling – and also validation since the empty is not valid.
Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Hello,
After installed the plugin, i go to the ‘Widgets’ menu, but don’t see the option menu.

Thanks a lot for this plugin. It really needs and I finally got it. Nice work. Thanks a lot once again.
Steph,
Excellent plugin—it works wonders! Just a quick question. Can you suggest a plugin that works in conjunction with Display Widget to display the actual page names so I could exclude them from the pages widget. For instance, instead of having to type in all the pages that I do not want to include in the page widget…b/c sometimes I have a lot…I could just click a checkbox or highlight a page name to include or exclude? Sort of like how Display Widget works with the checkbox on pages you want to include it on?
Thanks in advance!
Vincent
Thanks a lot for this plugin. It really needs and I finally got it. Nice work. Thanks a lot once again.
Sorry but It isn’t working. I set “Display widgets” with “Twenty Eleven 1.2″ (default wordpress theme) in “WordPress 3.2.1″ and I couldn’t show “Language Widget” in any page. Any ideas? has anyone the same problem?
Solved, you need “Twenty Eleven Theme Extensions”, Thks
Steph, you are awesome! I found your plugin after using Widget Logic for a while. You have managed to make it even simpler to change sidebars.
I thank you fair lady.
Warm Regards,
Steve Light
Thank you for this awesome plugin!
I am having a problem though, I am not seeing any of my widgets appear in my custom post types. I am seeing my custom post types as checkboxes in the widget options though.
Any ideas?
Just a heads up. The Display Widgets plugin has disappeared from the WordPress.org repository.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/
What happened?
Thanks. It should be back now. They told me after I asked it was removed because it included an affiliate link on that page. Sure would be nice if there was someplace where they listed the requirements and restrictions or at least give you a warning since these requirements appear to be undocumented. I’ve gotten plenty of emails this morning because of it. Awesome.
@Steph
I’m just glad to hear it’s not gone. Thanks
I’am new to WordPress (I normaly use Joomla) and the first Plug-in I installed was yours. Perfect ! Just what I was looking for and seems to works fine. Thanks for the Plug-in.
It doesn’t works in all plugins. can you help me out to use in Twitter wings plugins?
I love this widget. It works perfectly, however, some widgets don’t show the ‘display widget’ options. Is there anyway around this?
I cannot think of a better more simple and efficient plugin. Simply a MUST have. THANK YOU !!!
Hi, I am having a strange problem. I have two sites both using suffusion Theme, on one site the plugin works great on the other it does not change the widget page and the appearance is the same as the standard WP widgets page. When I installed it said it had installed correctly. Am I doing something stupid?
brilliant plug-in i’m loving it – apart from it not displaying anything on my home page. Strange…If i disable the plug-in everything displays as expected in my home page side bar. Any ideas? I’m just using the twenty 11 theme.
thanks for any prompts
Is this plugin similar to how ‘TS Custom Widgets’ works? I’m trying to find a better widget controller.
Display Widgets not working with Headway base theme and WP 3.3.
Widgets show on home page but no other pages, even though ‘show on checked’ is selected and the checked items are ‘front page, blog page, archive page, single post’.
Any one else experienced this, or know of a solution?
I am using Display Widget with no problems so far. This widget is great. I am wondering, however, if there is a way to extend the page content to the full page width when the widgets are not displayed. I am currently displaying a widget on my home pager only, on the primary area, but on the other pages where the widget is not displayed, I have a large margin area. Thanks.
Hi there- love your plugin but, like some other posters, I find it does not work with all widgets – the options just don’t show up – any suggestions on how to make it work for all widgets?
Thanks!
Harmony
Hi! I think I’m also getting the same problem with some users here. I got the plugin installed and it seemed not to work with my current theme (News Leak). I installed the same plugin in a separate blog using a theme based on PageLines framework so I believe this has something to do with the theme. Do you have any suggestion how to fix this without having to replace the theme? I appreciate it a lot. Thanks!
-Bert
still loving the plug in – still not sorted the home page out but i’m not too bothered about that.
One small wish….I’ve got a couple of pages where i’ve added a sub menu in the side bar, with a separate text widget immediately above along the lines of ‘select from menu below’. Works great but – there is a lot of space between the two and i’d like to reduce it down. Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
Liz
I installed the plugin always worked fine until I got now over 5000 wordpress pages.. and only the pages starting with the “A” are showed to check for hiding or showing.
I’ve using it for about 2 months and it’s great. I have one issue. There is one widget, About me, that I only want to show on one page but for that one widget, it does not give you the checkbox option. Ironically, this was the reason I used Display widgets. Any suggestions?
@max, Around line 264, you’ll find this:
‘numberposts’ => 999
Change 999 to -1. This will be included in the next version.
@Chellie, please refer to the FAQs for this plugin.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/faq/
Hey Steph,
Loving this plugin!
I have run into a unique way to use this plugin and was wondering if you had any advice.
Basically, I have a WordPress page template that will loop through every child page and display the title, content and sidebars. So the sidebar gets called inside a custom WordPress loop as it loops each child page.
Here’s my code so far which will work but shows the parent page sidebar instance each time if gets called in the loop.
$currentpageid = $post->ID;
$args = array(
‘post_parent’ => $currentpageid,
‘post_type’ => ‘page’
);
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
?>
<?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
I was thinking I might write a function that would accept a post/page ID and return the widgets for that page.
Not sure if this is clear but if you have any questions, ideas or suggestions you can reply or email me at beaudrymatt@gmail.com
Thanks so much and great work on this plugin!
Matt
Great plugin you have here..I use it repeatedly on most of my site.
WPML support in the latest version (1.22) of this plugin is not implemented correctly. For example, if I select ‘Front Page’ option and one of the added WPML languages, and the check box is set to “show only on following pages” then only ‘language’ option is activated but other set check box (‘Front Page’) is ignored. The result is that the content of the widget is not only shown on Front Page but also on all other pages that are associated with the the selected language. I think you should check against ‘and and’, not against ‘and or’ which I think is the case now.
Thus (e.g.):
‘Front Page’ + ‘Spanish’ = Content is shown only on Front Page and when Spanish language is selected.
Is it possible to make this work any time soon in an updated version of a widget. Thanks!
I have noticed the same problem as TJ and since I’m using WPML it has rendered the widget useless. You have to select one of the languages and when you do, it shows the widget on every page for that language.
I’ve had to revert to the previous plugin release to get this working.
I just want to also add that this is the first time I’ve had a problem with this widget and it has come in very handy with my wordpress projects.
How can I provide a check in my template if the widgets are displaying/are existing on a particular page. When I use is_dynamic_widget. I’m always getting a value of 1 whether the widgets are on or off. is_active_sidebar() just doesn’t seem to work at all.
Any suggestion?
this widget slows my genesis/lexicon widget page down to a crawl – as in taking 60-120 seconds to open a drop down menu in the primary sidebar. terrible!
deactivate the widget – everything works fine.
So, I’m using this plugin on a site I am building for a client. LOVE it BTW – it has really helped me out. However, recently it has stopped allowing me to add widgets to the home page. I mean I can add them to the sidebar, but they don’t appear unless I choose a sub-page. All the older widgets set to “home” work just fine, but can’t add any new ones. I would be VERY grateful for some help on this. Thanks
Thanks so much for this plugin!! I’ve been looking for something like this for ages and had pretty much decided to give up looking and write my own.
One thing I found is that the display-widget.php code needed to be altered in order for my widgets to display on the homepage when the ‘Front page’ checkbox was ticked. Here’s what I changed:
if (is_home()){
//$show = isset($instance['page-home']) ? ($instance['page-home']) : false;
$show = isset($instance['page-front']) ? ($instance['page-front']) : false;

Hi, Hola
I got aprox. 1 year using the Display Widgets plugin, works fine until bought and installed the WordPress Multilingual Language plugin (the widgets disappear from the sidebar when the WPML is active)… : WPML have some incompatibility problems with other plugins like Display Widgets, so I was in contact with WPML developers, they offer an option to solve the incompatibilities, but, they only work with the developers plugins (not with users)… so, I’m here…. i’m very interesting to use both plugins, is any option to contact WPML developers to solve the problem??????

Hi
The concept is awesome and very useful , but unfortunately it show all pages not the pages that i selected . Or hide all pages .
Hi Steph,
I am using your plugin for a long time now and until now it worked perfect in all situations.
My latest project I run into this issue when using the latest version of WordPress, the WPML plugin and Display widgets. When I select the pages where the widgets should be displayed on or the pages where not to display the widgets nothing happens. When selecting view on all except, the widgets is displayed on all pages, and when the display on none except, the widgets is never to be found but a few versions of WP/WPML/DW everything was still working. What to do?
I contacted the WPML support crew at the same time as this reply so I hope we can work things out becouse your plugin in combination with WPML is GOLD!
Tolles plugin. Hatte zuerst andere ausprobiert, aber dieses hier überzeugt mich sofort nach der Installation.
Schön, dass man alles von einem Ort aus einstellen kann und nicht auf jeder Seite einzeln einstellen muss!
Gute Arbeit, danke!
Great plugin but one problem on inner pages: I have a widget that should be displayed only on single page and only when post is from one of my categories. When I check to show it only on “single” and only on this category, it is additionally displayed also on category page (not good for me) even if “show on archive” is not checked.
Also when I check everywhere “hide” (also on archive pages) and not check “hide” only on single and this category – the same problem – it is still additionally displayed on category page.
How can I fix this?
It is not working with WPML-Multilingual-CMS
Has anyone found another plugin similar to this one that works with WPML?
I too am using your plugin and love it. However, am now running WPML Multilingual CMS also. Same problems as discussed above. Everything appears as normal with display widgets, but the boxes you check are ignored unless you choose a specific language, and then it seems to be all or nothing (widget will be removed or hidden for all pages). Selecting front page or blog page alone does not work. Please help!
IT’s VERY VERY NICE PLUGIN .
VERY NICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Aloha, been using it for couple sites and always worked, now I help out with a other WP project and installed it and it does not work in that theme, it just would not hide anything. The theme is http://www.inkthemes.com/colorway-theme-previews/ Colorway theme. I think is the Theme…
I tried Widget Coolerontroller as alternative, but that just went totally haywire… Maybe there i a hack or hook so it does no get over written somewhere…
There is an issue when using Display Widgets and Roboform on Firefox. The widgets page freezes and you can’t access the widgets. Disabling either the Roboform addon on the Display Widgets plugin solves the problem. I’m continuing to use but I have to disable Roboform before doing any work on widgets.
Thanks for the plugin, good work!
Just wondering whether you are planning to update it so that it’s compatible with newer versions of wordpress?
Many thanks.
Maybe you can try the development version? Also, as far as I’ve seen it is compatible with WP 3.5.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/developers/
Amazing plugin!!! and works pretty well on 3.5. Made my day and saved me a lot of time!!!
Just installed the plugin. Where do I find the widgets to use on different pages? BTW.. I am new to wordpresss! Thanks in advance:)
I am back to using your plug-in. It is so easy. I was using Widget Logic but it is not working with the WP update.
@Falon. You use the regular widgets, there’s not a special one, and toward the bottom of the widget you just put a check mark in the appropriate box for where you do not want the widget to show.
Hi,
I have used your plugin now and I think there is a languege bug when I mark show on checked it hide it and when I mark hide on checked i show it.
Hav you any solution on this???
I love that this allows you to use categories to display widgets – can use this the same way with tags? I can’t seem to figure it out. Would love that functionality.
Hi Steph,
Great plugin! I have one small problem – I ticked a page to show the widget on and then tried to deselect it but when I click save the page is selected again…
Can you help?
Thanks
Hi Steph,
Excellent support – many thanks for your help!!
Thank you so much for this plugin! I tried a few other ones but only yours did not create any problem
I also had the issue that when I ticked a page to show the widget on and then tried to deselect it but when I click save the page is selected again.
Your display-widgets.1.24beta.zip fixed it. Thank you, Sheldon
I love the widget but I have one issue that I’m looking for help with. When a post is assigned to two categories and each category is assigned a different widget (using your plugin) anyone viewing the post is served the widget from both categories. Any possible solution to this? Thanks!
Hi there!
We’re using this plugin on a couple of our blogs.
Works great in general. However, something you should know is that on a widget that hides the submit button with the “widget-control-noform” class around the buttons on the control panel (the MailChimp widget is an example of this), there is no way to save the setting without altering the DOM manually (to show that hidden save button). You should fix this if you can.
Thanks!
I have left a message on a different forum, but would like the plug in to work on wordpress themes that use ‘home’ as well as ‘frontpage’ – my widgets will not appear on my homepage
thanks
Are there any basic instructions on how this widget actually works? It’s title on the widget page is “Custom Menu”. Where do I move it to access its functionality?
SteamFeed has good documentation on how to use “Display Widgets”
http://www.steamfeed.com/how-to-create-different-widgets-on-different-pages-using-a-plugin/
Dear Steph,
I am making a WordPress blank theme cum theme framework, I want to include you plugin to my core file (your copyright will remain in your files).
Hope you’ll give me permission.
waiting for your replay.
Using this for a long time and love it. In particular the “show for logged-in users only”…. Along the same lines, is there a way to limit widgets based on user role (ie, editor, author, or by userID)… i tried adding the user id into the field at the bottom “Comma Separated list of IDs of posts not listed above:”, but this didn’t work.
Cheers
Thank you, thank you I’ve been looking for a display plugin since I started using wordpress for my websites! This is an awsome plugin I tell you what.
I’m sure you plan to sell “Display Widgets” someday, your off to a good start and thanks again.
Jon
makes my widgets screen hang a lot, so annoying! any way to fix that?
Seemed a bit too good to be true and sadly it was in my case. Main problem is that RSS feed widgets won’t display in any page/sidebar with this plugin activated. Have tried all options, uninstalling and reinstalling plugin, and rebuilding entire template. Has anyone had this problem with Feed widgets?
Also, won’t integrate with “Upcoming Events” widget (associated with Kieran O’Shea’s “Calendar” widget) so no option to hide or display.
Using this on a client site. For some reason, we’re suddenly stuck with a limit of 978 to show/hide. Checked the plugin code and numberposts is set to -1. Thoughts?
Excellent plugin – using on two sites for about a month thus far.
I opened a thread on the Themehybrid forum about Display Widgets, so other members there would become aware of it. http://themehybrid.com/support/topic/display-widgets-interesting-plugin-alternative-to-widget-logic#post-78429
