Description

The Extended Widget Options plugin is aimed at site administrators, developers, and designers who need to control where each widget appears, with visibility options by page, post type, category, and user profile in a visual and intuitive way. It adds an options box to the widget administration screen, allowing you to create conditional display rules without editing code, set expiration dates, and differentiate display for logged-in users versus visitors, streamlining widget area management on complex sites such as portals, stores, or portfolios.
