This would be a great plugin for smaller less frequently updated sites but for mine a large travel site it is not much use.
Whenever you create a new page it includes all the widgets and you must go into each widget and disable it for each new page or amendment.
Sorry, but this is simply impractical as it takes hours on my site to make changes to one page.

First of all I’d like to thank author for the great job done. It is really powerfull manager with so much options, it was very usefull for me. It’s a pity, but just for few month. My MySQL started crashing but I couldn’t get why, P3 plugin profiler showed nothing, so I moved to more powerfull server, but it kept crashing, so I moved again (VPS 70$ per month) thinking that traffic is too big for resources. But it didn’t solve the problem. Then I got to kmow about plugin Query Monitor which shows all queries send to database. This is how I discovered that Widget Manager Light was sending 150-200 queries per every single page load. Disabling the plugin solved the issue at last.

While this plugin works to make widgets visible or invisible, it fails to work well in any environment where there are regular updates. The reason for this is exceedingly simple (so much so that it is surprising that the developer hasn’t identified this problem…almost as if they’ve never tested the plugin in a production environment of any kind): widget visibility cannot be set to off by default.
This means that should you place a widget and set it to be only visible on a couple of pages everything will work perfectly well right up until you write a post or add a page. At that point, the widget will be immediately visible on the new post/page.
This plugin will work perfectly for people who are looking to create a static, or seldom-updated site. For those people it is likely a 4 or 5 star plugin. For the vast majority of users—who will be regularly adding content to their wordpress sites—this plugin simply adds work to every update cycle. And the more you utilize the plugin, the more work it adds to your cycle. (Imagine you have a dozen widgets meant to be visible on just a few pages. That’s a dozen widgets that must be edited every single time you post.)
[Apparently the text of my first review was deemed not as useful as the one word five star reviews and was removed, so I’m just going to write another one. Hopefully the mods will be able to see the clear issues with the plugin and don’t cater to the plugin dev who, of course, would rather not have me explain why their plugin is deeply flawed. But the USERS who are looking at this plugin deserve to know the truth about the rather severe limitations it has. Perhaps a new update to the plugin will add the simple functionality required to make specific widgets default to invisible. Until then, this plugin is exceptionally poorly suited to any real production environment.]

With the vast array of plugins available for WordPress and the extreme availability of (inexpensive) freelance coders capable of WP development, I cannot in good conscience recommend a plugin whose developers refuse to answer simple questions about their software without users paying them.
All I have to say to the “support” team that told me to pay them before they answered a question that I needed to know the answer to in order to determine if the plugin would even work for my needs is this:
Nobody is going to pay you for a product that does not work.
