## Beschreibung

IMPORTANT: This plugin will NOT function after the Widgets screen overhaul that 
is part of WordPress 5.8 unless you use the Classic Widgets plugin (https://wordpress.
org/plugins/classic-widgets/). The plugin will continue to be supported/maintained
for those using Classic Widgets, but there are no plans to make Conditional Widgets
work once Widgets are Blocks.

This plugin adds a form to each widget on the Widgets panel which allows users to
choose which pages and/or categories the widget is either displayed on or hidden
from.

For each widget, you can choose criteria to either SHOW or HIDE the widget, based
on a number of categories. The interface is quite intuitive, and requires no knowledge
of php or conditional tags.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Each widget gets an expandable form at the bottom of it for controlling display
   options on the home page and for both pages and categories.

## Installation

Standard Installation Procedure

 1. Upload the `cets-conditional-widgets` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Aktiviere das Plugin in WordPress über das Menü „Plugins“

## FAQ

### Can I Use it with Custom Post Types or Taxonomies?

Yes and No.

Conditional Widgets can be configured with additional Type/Taxonomy pairs (both 
native and custom), similar to how it functions with Posts and Categories. However,
it does not support additional Custom Post Types the way it does Pages. (If I were
going to write it from scratch, I would have definitely included that, but have 
no plans to add it given that Widgets themselves are on the way to becoming unsupported.)

The following filter is available to take pairs of Post Type and Taxononmy slugs(
use in functions.php or a small plugin):

    ```
    // Add Conditional Widgets support for Success Stories (Post Type) & Story Groups (Taxonomy)
    add_filter('conditional_widgets_type_tax_pairs', 'success_story_conditional_widget_type_tax_pairs' );

    function success_story_conditional_widget_type_tax_pairs( $pairs_array ) {

        $success_story_pair = array(
            'type'=> 'success-story',
            'tax'=> 'story-group' 
        );

        $pairs_array[] = $success_story_pair;
        return $pairs_array;

    }
    ```

If you really want to be able to use Conditional Widgets to control Widget display
on individual instances of a Custom Post Type (rather than based on a Taxonomy),
the workaround would be to create unique Taxonomy terms for those Custom Posts.

Very useful plugin, light, easy to use for customizing each category widget, or 
page too, it works very well. Thanks -:)

Hi, I see that this plugin is no longer followed by its developer for a long time,
to delete?

 [tommyg73](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tommyg73/) 13. Oktober 2017

If you have certain browser extensions (like Grammerly) it will not work. Somehow
the enable crashes or delays too long with them.

Its currently not compatible with WooCommerce and a post that was made a month ago
by someone regarding this was completely ignored. Seems the developer doesn’t care
about compatibility.
