Plugin not working.

Some themes are confusing Dynamic Widgets when trying to determine which page it is. Most of the time by setting DW into OLD method fixes that problem.

What is OLD method?

Thanks,

From the FAQ:
You can do this by clicking on the ‘Advanced >’ link at the bottom of the Widgets Overview page and check the box next to ‘Use OLD method’. See if that helps. Setting the plugin using the ‘OLD’ method comes with a downside unfortunately. It may leave you behind with a visible empty sidebar.

I’m just dealing with my blog subscription widget for testing purposes. I got that widget to come off the product pages in Woocommerce but not my main shop page. This was after I put it into ‘OLD Method.’

Sorry for the late reply
OK, so OLD method seems to be doing the trick.

Please make sure you’re dealing with the right sidebar and widget. Many times it turns out someone is trying to set the rules on the wrong widget in the wrong sidebar.

It’s not working in all instances. I ended up just removing the Woocommerce product categories from my pages for now since I didn’t want visitors to see it across all my site’s pages.

I was able to get the plugin to hide the ‘subscription’ widget on my Woocommerce product pages only. I’m not sure why it’s not working correctly on other pages.

I just re-added the product categories widget. I set it so that my shop page – https://reneeasimpson.com/shop/ – should ONLY be showing the product categories widget. But it shows all widgets in the sidebar.

Maybe there are custom queries being executed on that page? That’s always a problem. It might help by adding a wp_reset_query() just before the sidebar.
