Widget Context 0.8.1 Released

BUG: is_dynamic_sidebar still returns true even though there is no widgets for the page. Occurred after the 0.8 update.

Its show back Widget Context panel for all plugins, but “Show on selected” option not working. I select to show on index but appear on all pages.
Please check, thanks

Having a problem with adding widgets to the single side bar at https://kelboyanimations.com WC works fine on the 2 side bar option but cant get any text into single side bar pages or blog. Earlier versions were the same.

Any ideas would be very useful.

Thanks,
Allan

I was having the same sort of problem that Mihai_ls describes. I create rules for all widgets, save them, then all widgets appear on every page. So I reverted to version 0.7.2 and it works fine.

same as skdenmark stated.

WP Version 3.5.1; Widget Context Version 0.8.1

Version 0.8.1 not working at all on local install using XAMPP.

I’m using URL’s to include and exclude widgets from certain pages, but no joy.

Previous version worked fine with the URL if the final / was removed from the URL i.e. https://localhost/wordpress/about

not https://localhost/wordpress/about/

Is there an alternative function to “is_dynamic_sidebar” or “is_active_sidebar” somewhere in the plugin code? As much as I prefer not to have my themes dependent on any third party plugin, I’d rather have a call to a function that works, over complaints from clients that they have “weird lines” on certain pages of their site because a sidebar without content isn’t being hidden properly.

Constant __DIR__ is not defined in PHP 5.2 (thus, does not include admin css).

Frustrating having empty divs rendered on pages where the widget should be hidden. Going to revert back to 7.2 I guess on several sites.

Yes, I use 7.2 to, but wait for a new update to resolve this issue.

The fix for the empty divs is posted in This Thread (I didn’t come up with the fix, I’m just sharing it).

Essentially, the fix is to just overwrite widget-context.php with the code from Here (click the “Raw” button for easier select-all). I also recommend changing the version number in the new code to “8.1.1”, just to prevent accidental upgrades.

For the “Constant __DIR__ is not defined in PHP 5.2 (thus, does not include admin css)” Error use the following fix.

LINE 125 – widget-context.php

Change:
wp_enqueue_style( 'widget-context-admin', WP_CONTENT_URL . '/plugins/'. basename(__DIR__) . '/admin-style.css' );

To:
wp_enqueue_style( 'widget-context-admin', WP_CONTENT_URL . '/plugins/'. plugin_basename(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/admin-style.css' );

Hope this helps!
