Details

Advanced Text Widget is a regular text widget that has extensive conditional options to display content on pages, posts, specific categories etc. It supports regular HTML as well as raw PHP code. With these flexible appearance conditions, you can have your content showing up only in certain places of your Wordpress blog (or web site), and not on every single page, without editing your templates.

Thank you so much for this plug-in. I had been using Daiko's Text Widget, but it won't create multiple instances in WP v2.8... and I needed about 16 of them. Your widget worked perfectly! As soon as I get some money in my PayPal account, I'll send you a donation. Thanks again.

Thanks for the kind words John! I'm using it on all my WP based sites and blogs, so hopefully others will find it useful as well :)

I just started using Advanced Text Widget. I have a widget I'd like to use on several, but not all, pages. In the fields next to Slug/Title/ID I've tried separating the Page names with commas, but then nothing shows up anywhere. Is it possible to assign one widget to a subset of pages?

Thanks for bringing this up. Weird, I have exactly the same code in the Simple Sidebar Navigation plugin and it's updated, but I guess I forgot to update the Advanced Text Widget. It should be fixed now - download the version 1.0.2

You should be able to assign your widgets to a set of pages. For example, you can select to show your widget on Page(s) and then enter the page IDs in this manner: 1,2,3,4,5

Please let me know if the latest version works for you.

Thank you!

Hi Max, I just read Dave Smith's write up and am going to take a look at this. It looks it can really save some time and has some very cool functionality. Thanks for another cool plugin.
