Documentation Widget visibility can be configured under individual widget settings under “Appearance → Widgets” in your WordPress administration area or through the widget editing interface in the Customizer.

Target by URL The “Target by URL” is a powerful feature for targeting sections of your website based on the request URLs. It was inspired by a similar feature in the Drupal CMS.

Use relative URLs such as page/sub-page instead of absolute URLs https://example.com/page/sub-page because relative URLs are more flexible and make the logic portable between different domains and server environments.

Wildcards Use the wildcard symbol * for matching dynamic parts of the URL. For example:

topic/widgets/* to match all posts in the widgets category, if your permalink structure is set to /topic/%category%/%postname%.

page-slug/* to match all child pages of the page-slug parent page.

Use a trailing ?* to capture URL with all query arguments such as utm_source, etc. For example, for every blog/post-slug also include blog/post-slug?*.
