[Resolved] Don't display one sidebar widget on one page

[Edin]

Hello,

Is there a way to NOT display a certain sidebar-widget on one particular page? Without the use of a plugin?

I have a text widget in the sidebar with my photo and a link to the /about page. I don’t want this widget ON the about page.

Any way to do this without the use of a plugin?

Thanks,
Eddie

Hi there,

you could hide it with this CSS – the first class is the body class for that specific page.

.page-id-5 .inside-right-sidebar #text-7 {
    display: none;
}

Thank you, David.

Is that the best solution regarding keeping the site lean and speedy? Also, I remember reading somewhere that Google dislikes display: none.

Its the simplest method. And would not be detrimental to speed. Consider the image would have been loaded/cached from other pages being viewed.

Google frowns upon display: none where people use it to hide loads of keywords behind completely unrelated content. This use is very acceptable.

Thanks, David!

You’re welcome
