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?*. Exclude by URL Specify URLs to ignore even if they’re matched by any of the other context rules. For example, enter example/sub-page to hide a widget on this page even when “All Posts” is selected under “Global Sections”.

Widget Visibility Time Scheduler displays and hides widgets based on desired date, time and weekday automatically. Try it out on your free demo site https://demo.tastewp.com/widget-visibility-time-scheduler The plugin is available in English, Spanish (Español), German (Deutsch), Brazilian Portuguese (Português do Brasil), Persian (Farsi), Hungarian (Magyar), Arabic (العربية), Polish (Polski) and Catalan (Català). It does not collect any personal data, so it is ready for EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance. NOTE: Widget Visibility Time Scheduler is currently NOT compatible with WordPress 5.8 introduced block-based widgets editor. If you have already updated to WordPress 5.8, or you want to do this, but you want to still use Widget Visibility Time Scheduler you need to switch back to the classic widget editor. For this we provided a new setting page where you can do this. If you don’t want to do this, Widget Visibility Time Scheduler is not the right plugin for you. Compatibility with block based widgets With WordPress 5.8 the block based widgets were introduced. The technique behind these new widget concept is more complex. One of the changes is, the widgets are now using API call to display. Extensive programming is required to prepare Widget Visibility Time Scheduler for this new feature. Nothing I could do in the short time I was able to test this feature. Even so, Widget Visibility Time Scheduler works with WordPress 5.8 and higher. The only adjustment you need to make is to turn off the block-based widgets for a while. As known from the Gutenberg block editor, there is also a plug-in to deactivate the block-based widgets. Please download, install and activate Classic Widgets from wordpress.org and switch back to the usual widget area. I’m working hard to make Widget Visibility Time Scheduler compatible for the block based widgets. It takes some time to provide a stable and error-free code base. Stay tuned for a brand-new version soon. And thank you for your understanding.
