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.
Changelog
1.5: Added “404 Page” check box
1.4: Changed “Home Page” check box to “Blog Page”
1.3: Added check box for Home page if it is the blog page, Added check boxes for single post and archive pages, Save hide/show option correctly for more widgets
1.2: Save page check boxes for more widgets
1.1: Fixed bug that prevented other widget options to be displayed
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.
Paul
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:
- NAVT
- Flexi Pages
Any ideas why not?
Thanks,

@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.
