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”.

This is an excellent plugin for controlling where your widget appears. Unfortunately it does not work well with the new Gutenberg Widget. For example, when you select the option for Show Wwidget on Selected, it no longer open a text field to insert your url. I hope Kaspars release an update soon.

it works. that's the important thing however it's a bit complicated to deal with I wanted to simply include a widget in specific pages but there is no such option you can only decide based on the post type. it's surprising that selection based on page "slug" is not an option ! when it should be the most basic thing to use.
