If you get into managing a large amount of content or have a very custom site, and you’re using widgets, odds are that you’ll have a need to be able to selectively display certain widgets on certain pages. There is an awesome plugin called Widget Logic that addresses this need perfectly. It adds a field at the bottom of each widget box where you can drop in a WordPress Conditional Tag (or other PHP) such as is_home() to show a widget only on the main page for example.
A friend of mine turned me on to Widget Logic. It’s a brilliant solution to common problem. Helps cut back on all the custom php scripting needed on sidebar.php as well.
Just wanted to say cool site – I found this site from your other design website, and I think it’s a great idea. I come across a lot of Wordpress issues since I don’t have a technical background with websites, so I’ll definitely be checking back here from time to time to see if there’s anything that can help me. Keep it up!
