Thanks.

This is not making sense.

I went to your website to this page:
https://widget-options.com/features/post-types-taxonomies-widget-visibility/

Not much was said or shown on your webpage, but it does show using the taxonomies to set visibilities as show or hide, yet you tell me here that taxonomies cannot be used alone to set visibility, which makes this confusing.

Is there documentation to explain how to use taxonomies?

Yes it does. I was assuming as much, but this needed posting.

This says this plugin is really limited in use, because it does not provide the needed flexibility to work with either the “and” condition, or the “or” condition, where by my experience, the “or” condition is far more frequent in need than the “and” condition.

The only way, that I know of, to work around this current “and” restriction is to create a duplicate widget with different conditions (splitting what I did above into 2 widgets), but that will lead to multiple entries of the same widget on pages or posts.

For me, I will have to find another widget that provides better flexibility of use.

Suggestion
Add the “or” condition to your widget, or change it to the “or” condition, as that will cover far more variations and requirements than the “and” condition. …but since this widget is used by many, the only option I see is to add the “or” condition.

The “and” condition is too restrictive, as this simple incident has shown.

Thanks

I have the exact same problem.

I was using the visibility settings for “Hiding” a widget. This can only be set 1x to a specific widget. If I had a second “Hide” setting to the same widget, it cancels the “Hide” settings all together making the widget visible throughout the site.

Example:
1st setting > a single category selected
The widget “hide” setting works per the setting.

– Add a second “Hide” setting…
2nd setting added > a tag or tab names selected
The widget hide settings for the same widget is completely canceled

Yes, I have tested this in a default WordPress theme and the same problem, especially on both of my websites that have different themes and plugins.

Your URL protocol of that site is HTTP, not HTTPS. I checked your site.

To move to HTTPS requires a server setting, it is not a WordPress Admin setting. WordPress admin settings, have to follow the server settings.

If you get access issues or HTTP is not showing or HTTPS is not showing, then you need to contact your hosting service. Your HTTP/HTTPS protocol is managed at their end.

By the way, Google has encouraged all websites to move to HTTPS protocol, which you should and most hosting services provide a free version of SSL which is what gives you HTTPS. Contact your hosting service for more information.

Also, any time you change things like URL protocols on a website, clear your browser cache before testing it.

I forgot to explain how to fix it.

Return to the theme you were using before the switch.

Then install a maintenance plugin to hide your site behind a “website is being updated” page.

Then switch themes, make the changes to the pages or posts, do other settings the new theme requires, etc. When in maintenance mode you can view your website (using the same browser).

When finished, turn off maintenance mode and your site is open for visitors.

@gappiah is correct, switching themes is not like changing shoes, things will not fit, settings will be different, content layouts not working, custom CSS will be missing and images may not display the same way, because each theme determines its own way of how content is laid out on the website and how the site will function. No one theme is the same as the next, even with the same theme developer.

The only things that remain the same are the core settings to each page and post determined by WordPress core files and how the Admin area works.

If you want to use a different theme, you need to redo each page / post to display content the way you want, including the home page.

Keep in mind, switching themes can be problematic with plugins, a different theme may not be compatible with the list of plugins you currently use, especially page builders, for example; WPBakery (Visual Composer).

As a backup, keep at least 1 WordPress default theme, you will need it to troubleshoot WordPress issues.
