Widget Logic

Finding the right Plugin can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. However, Widget Logic makes a strong case for being the ultimate choice. It is just as easy as before but also in gutenberg view.

In this review, we’ll take a close look at its capabilities, setup process, and why it deserves a spot on your server.

Why It Stands Out

What separates a generic tool from a great one? Usually, it’s the attention to detail. Use ‘wp_reset_query’ fix — Many features of WP, as well as the many themes and plugins out there, can mess with the conditional tags, such that is_home is NOT true on the home page.

Key Highlights

• This plugin gives every widget an extra control field called “Widget logic” that lets you control the pages that the widget will appear on.
• The text field lets you use WP’s Conditional Tags, or any general PHP code.
• PLEASE NOTE The widget logic you introduce is EVAL’d directly.
• Anyone who has access to edit widget appearance will have the right to add any code, including malicious and possibly destructive functions.
• There is an optional filter ‘widget_logic_eval_override’ which you can use to bypass the EVAL with your own code if needed.
• The configuring and options are in the usual widget admin interface.
• BIG UPDATE: Now you can control widget in Gutenberg Widgets editor as well as in Classic Editor.
• Pre-installed widgets let you add special widget with one click of the mouse.
• First pre-installed widget is Live Match that let you add widget of one random live football game with real time score updates (teams logos, livescore, minute of the match, tournament name).

Developers will appreciate the clean codebase and flexibility offered here.

Getting It Running

We know you hate complicated setups. Luckily, Widget Logic follows the standard WordPress protocols:

1. Grab the package from the repository.
2. Head over to your Dashboard and hit upload.
3. Activate it and look for the new settings panel (usually under Settings or Tools).

Quick Tip: It’s always a good idea to flush your cache after activating a new Plugin.
