## Beschreibung

_Widgets Control_ is a toolbox that features visibility management for all widgets,
sidebars, sections of content and content blocks.
 It allows to **show widgets and
sidebars based on conditions** – you can choose to show them only on certain pages
or exclude them from being displayed.

**Sections** of content can also be restricted by using this plugin’s `[widgets_control]`
shortcode.

You can also define new WYSIWYG **Content Blocks** that can be used in widgets, 
sidebars and with shortcodes.

For each widget and sidebar, you can decide where it should be displayed:

 * show it on all pages
 * show it on some pages
 * show it on all except some pages

… you can target small, medium or large screens for mobile, tablet and desktop users.

To include or exclude pages, the plugin allows you to indicate page ids, titles 
or slugs and tokens that identify the front page, categories, tags, etc.

In addition to page ids, titles and slugs, these tokens can be used to determine
where a widget should or should not be displayed:

    ```
    [home] [front] [single] [page] [category] ...
    ```

On sites using [WPML](https://wpml.org), widgets can be shown conditionally based
on the language viewed.

The `[widgets_control]` shortcode is used to embed content and show it conditionally
similar to the visibility options used for widgets and sidebars.
 For example, `[
widgets_control conditions="{archive}"]This text is shown only when the content 
is displayed on an archive page.[/widgets_control]`.

_Widgets Control_ also provides **flexible WYSIWYG Content Blocks** and a proper
widget that can be used to place them in sidebars,
 the `[widgets_control_content]`
shortcode to embed freely created blocks anywhere on your pages and API functions
that allow to include these blocks in PHP templates of your theme. For even more
flexible control, use [Widgets Control Pro](https://www.itthinx.com/shop/widgets-control-pro/)
which provides freely definable additional sidebars.

Use display conditions to show or hide content on devices with small, medium or 
large displays, useful to adapt the display to **mobile, tablet and desktop** viewers.

See the [documentation](http://docs.itthinx.com/document/widgets-control/) for more
details.

### Widgets Control Pro

Our [Widgets Control Pro](https://www.itthinx.com/shop/widgets-control-pro/) provides
additional features:

 * Conditions based on the viewed **post type**. For example, show a widget only
   on posts with `[type:post]` or only on product pages with `[type:product]`
 * Show or hide widgets on full **page hierarchies**, where conditions are based
   on a parent page and all its child pages: `some-page/*`
 * Show or hide widgets based on user **roles**. For example, show a widget to subscribers
   and customers only: `[role:subscriber,customer]`
 * Show or hide widgets based on a user’s **group membership** with [Groups](https://wordpress.org/plugins/groups/).
   For example, show a widget only to registered users with `[group:Registered]`
   or show a widget only to users in a Premium group using `[group:Premium]`
 * Show or hide widgets for archive pages of a specific post type. For example, `[
   archive:product]` can be used to show widgets for the WooCommerce shop page and
   product archives only.
 * Allows to specify exclusions. For example, to show a widget only on pages, but
   exclude it from being shown on one or more specific pages.
 * Provides additional **sidebar features** that allow to define any number of **
   custom sidebars**, flexible placement based on common locations, including above
   and below content, the comment form, menus and other sidebars, the `[widgets_control_sidebar]`
   shortcode to embed them in content on your pages and API functions to use them
   in your theme’s templates.
