I hope this is enough information.

Widget Logic can be a little iffy as you have to get the conditional perfect.

Have you tried this plugin?: https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-widgets/

There's also one included with Jetpack (Widget Visibility) if you're already using Jetpack for something else :)

Hej Tom.

I have tried Jetpack and it doesnt work. Do you know what it can be? I have tried to read on there support page and they are telling that the theme can cause the problem

Hmm, I'm using the Widget Visibility module in Jetpack on this site without any issues, and have used the Display Widgets plugin with no issues as well.

Plugins typically like to blame the theme, as some themes are coded quite poorly.

Have you also tried using the Display Widgets plugin? No luck?

I tested Display Widgets and the extra widget options doesnt show upp. Tried Jetpack Widget Visibility Extended and it doesnt work either.

What can the problem be? Im running localhost and woocommerce catalog. My reading settings is this.

The Widget Visibility module might have to be disabled for Display Widgets to work.

I'm not quite sure what's going on with your installation, as I've confirmed all three plugins are working without any issues on GP.

Try to deactivate everything except for Display Widgets and let me know how it works :)

Hello Tom!

I have tried Widget Logic and the news page is working, the commands im using is "is_home('NYHETER')" and is working on the static blogg page. Now the problem is the woocommerce is showing on the NEWS page i want it disabled and im using same commando for it.

Hmm, the is_home() function doesn't accept any parameters, so I'm not sure why that's working: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_home

The Display Widgets plugin is 100x better as you don't have to fiddle with weird conditionals like that - the plugin does it all for you.
