Widget Visibility Still Broken
-
Ever since the block editor was added to widgets, the conditional logic in Jetpack for widget visibility doesn’t seem to work. Our old widgets worked until we tried to edit them. We fixed that by rolling the code back and going through the summer with no widgets changes. Now, we are in the off-season and trying to fix it. Nothing here seems to address the issue. We tried to add a new widget and, once again, all of our legacy widgets disappeared and the visibility function doesn’t appear for new widgets when they are created with the block editor.

Hi @kboyle –
I tested the widget visibility with a new widget and it seems to work okay:
Is there a particular type of conditional logic that isn’t working?
You might also want to test this with a different theme to rule out a potential theme conflict.
The Health Check plugin’s “Troubleshooting Mode” is a good way to do this. It allows you to make changes to your site without them reflecting on the frontend. You can download that plugin here:

Once you’ve installed and activated the plugin, you can go to Tools → Site Health:
* Select the Troubleshooting tab and then click Enable Troubleshooting to automatically disable all plugins and add a new Troubleshooting Menu item in the toolbar at the top of the wp-admin dashboard.
* From here, you can enable and disable plugins and change the theme for your site, but without affecting normal visitors to your site.I recommend starting by testing with a different theme. Please try with a default theme such as “Twenty Twenty” and see if you experience the same issue. If you do not, the issue is with your theme. You will need to reach out to your theme developers for a fix.
Let us know what you find out.
