Widget manager for WordPress

Standard widget handling shows the same widgets everywhere in a widget-ready area. Widget Manager for WordPress adds rules on top of that. You can set a widget to appear on selected pages or posts, for certain categories, post types, or custom taxonomies, or for particular user roles and groups. Each widget then appears only where it makes sense.

The plugin also supports scheduling, so a widget can show only during certain times or days. That suits timed promotions and seasonal content. The settings are built for people without coding experience, and developers who need more can write custom PHP conditions. It works with the popular WordPress editors and themes, and it suits sidebars, footers, and other widget-ready areas.

Features

• Conditional widget display: Show or hide a widget based on pages, posts, categories, user roles, and other criteria, so each area of your site carries the content that belongs there.
• Time and date scheduling: Set widgets to appear only during chosen times or days, which helps with timed promotions and seasonal content that should switch on and off by themselves.
• Custom PHP conditions: When the built-in options do not cover a case, write your own PHP condition to control when a widget displays.
• Flexible widget targeting: Assign widgets to specific user groups, post types, or custom taxonomies so the right audience sees the right widget.
• Add, remove, and rearrange: Manage the widgets on your site with a few clicks, including adding new ones, removing old ones, and changing their order.
• Works with popular editors: The plugin is built to work with the major WordPress editors and themes, so it can fit into the setup you already use.
• Responsive and retina ready: Widgets managed through the plugin display well on all devices and look crisp on high-resolution screens.
• Easy settings interface: Plugin settings are laid out so users of any skill level can manage widget conditions without writing code.
