TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

Dynamic Widgets is for WordPress site owners and administrators who use classic (non-Gutenberg) widgets. It solves the problem of manually coding conditional logic by letting users show or hide widgets on specific pages through point-and-click rules based on roles, dates, devices, and other conditions.

Role-based widget display
Date and day-of-week rules
Browser and device targeting
IP address range rules
URL and domain matching
Custom post type support
BuddyPress and bbPress integration
WPML language conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Dynamic Widgets

A properly working WordPress site (doh!). Your theme must have at least one dynamic sidebar. Your theme must call wp_head(). Minimum of PHP version 5.2.7, PHP 5.3 is highly recommended.

Yes, you can. In the Dynamic Widgets Overview page, click the 'Advanced >' link at the bottom. You should see if wp_head() is called in your theme. It is possible Dynamic Widgets can't detect if the theme is calling wp_head(). Please contact the author of the theme to ask for it. You can also of course just try Dynamic Widgets to see if it works.

Yes, but only if you activate the plugin on a per site base. Network Activation is not supported. Extra note: It seems that sometimes for some reason DW does not show up on individual sites within a WP Network without a network activation. You can use Multisite Plugin Manager to overcome this problem. I checked the "Make exception rule available to individual posts and tags" option, but nothing happens. Did you save the options? If you did, you may try to hit the (i) icon a bit to the right and read the text which appears below.

A logical AND means that ALL rules must be met before the action takes place. A logical OR means that when ANY rule is met, the action takes place.

You probably have more than 500 pages. Building a tree with so many pages slows down the performance of the plugin dramatically. To prevent time-out errors, the child-function has been automatically disabled. You can however raise this limit by clicking on the 'Advanced >' link at the bottom of the Widgets Overview page and raise the number next to the Page limit box.

Try setting the plugin to the 'OLD' method. 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.

Yes! You can switch between FILTER and OLD method without any loss of widgets configuration or whatsoever.

Your theme probably uses a 'default display widgets policy'. When a sidebar becomes empty, the theme detects this and places widgets by default in it. The plugin can't do anything about that. Ask the theme creator how to fix this.

Since version 3.8, WPEC uses the by WordPress provided Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomies. Dynamic Widgets supports Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomies. You'll find the WPEC Categories under the 'Categories (Products)' section.

Click at the bottom of the Widgets Overview page on the 'Advanced >' link. Now a button 'Create dump' appears a bit below. Click that button. Save the text file. Remember where you saved it.
