If Widget – Visibility control for Widgets

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   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!

   Tried it. No options in the widget area. It appears this plug-in no longer works.

   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 Rangi This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by rangitoto.

   Was looking for a simple plugin to hide widgets based on user role or if they were signed in or not. This works flawlessly! Great work!

   Tested all other plugins. This one is the best, especially for “url contains” feature.
