Widget Options Pro and Widget Options Extended add paid controls for deciding where and when WordPress sidebar widgets and Gutenberg blocks appear, and how they are presented. Use visibility rules when content should be limited to particular site areas, audiences, devices, or time periods.

Set where and when content appears

Rules can target pages, posts, custom post types, author content, archive pages, taxonomies, and terms. They can also check a visitor’s visitor role or login state, device, URL, or wildcard restriction. Filter multiple pages by keyword-containing slugs or inherit visibility from a parent page.

Advanced Custom Fields conditions include equal to, not equal to, contains, does not contain, is empty, and is not empty. These conditions are also available for Elementor and Beaver Builder. Schedule visibility by selected days or date ranges, with an option to ignore the year.

Adjust appearance and manage widgets

Paid options include custom widget styling, columns, links, IDs, and CSS classes. Set widget or block alignment to left, right, center, or justified. You can clone widgets, use widget cache options, disable widgets, and make widgets sticky or fixed. Title options can conceal a widget title on the front end while keeping it in the dashboard for labeling. Permission options control who can edit widget settings by user role.

Use builder integrations and sliding panels

Widget Options works with Gutenberg, SiteOrigin, Elementor, and Beaver Builder. The Sliding Widget Options add-on can turn widgets into a modal pop-up, slide-in or toaster, chat box, or another animated sliding panel.

Enable the controls you need

After activation, follow the welcome message and video instructions. Go to Settings > Widget Options to enable or disable capabilities, then configure widgets under Appearance > Widgets. Set visibility, styling, device, role, schedule, or targeting rules in the relevant widget or supported block settings.
