Exclude Main Posts Page

    I’ve created a custom sidebar that I’d like to display on all individual posts, but I do not want it to display on the main posts page. My site is configured to use a static home page with a separate page specified as the Posts Page, but I’m unable to configure the plugin to ignore that Posts Page and only display the custom sidebar on the actual posts. I’ve tried by setting a unique author for the Posts Page and added an exception condition for that author, but that doesn’t seem to work.

    There are basically two conditions for Where to Display:
    Posts – All Posts/Blog Page
    Except
    Authors – (specific author)

    Is there guidance for configuring exceptions that might make this work, another way to separate the Posts Page from Post Entries, or are there any filters available where I could trap for the Posts Page and ignore the custom sidebar there?

    If you go to Settings for the Display Condition you have created, set Page Types=”Single Pages”.

    This ought to make sure that the sidebar is only displayed on the single posts, and not on the posts/blog page (which WordPress sees as an archive page under the hood).

    Does this work for you?
