Selectively show widgets on pages?
5 replies · Started by _blank on June 10, 2015
I'd like my footer widgets to appear on the home page only.
Searching this forum I found a similar question here
So I tried it with several plugins; Jetpak's Widget Visibility, Widget Logic and Display Widgets.
For me, they did hide the widget content on the unselected pages, but they replaced it with the generic widget notice…
"
Footer Widget 2
Replace this widget content by going to Appearance / Widgets and dragging widgets into Footer Area 2.
To remove or choose the number of footer widgets, go to Appearance / Customize / Layout / Footer Widgets.

Is there something else I need to do to accomplish this?
Is your homepage your blog or a static page?
If it's a static page, you can disable footer widgets globally in the Customizer, and then choose to display however many you want while editing the page itself: generatepress.com/knowledgebase/choosing-footer-widgets/#individual
If it's your blog, you can enable the widgets using a function:
add_filter( 'generate_footer_widgets','generate_custom_footer_widgets' );
function generate_custom_footer_widgets()
{
// If we are on the blog homepage, set the widgets
if ( is_home() )
return '2';
// Or else, use the default widget setting
return $widgets;
}TY!!!
You're welcome! :)
for me it doesn't work. when saving my selection it alway jumps back to "Global Footer Widget Settings". Or do I have to use the Premium Version for this?
