¿Quieres mostrar widgets en páginas específicas de tu sitio web WordPress?
Por defecto, cuando añades widgets a tu sitio web, se muestran en todas las páginas. Sin embargo, a veces es posible que solo desee mostrar widgets seleccionados en determinadas páginas, lo que puede ayudarle a personalizar mejor su sitio web y ofrecer una experiencia de usuario personalizada.
En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo mostrar u ocultar fácilmente widgets en páginas específicas de WordPress.
¿Por qué mostrar u ocultar widgets en las páginas de WordPress?
Los widgets de WordPress le permiten añadir contenido adicional a la barra lateral, pie de página y cabecera de su sitio.
Ayudan a poner información importante delante de sus visitantes, como un formulario de contacto, páginas de medios sociales, ofertas de ventas, sus páginas más valiosas y mucho más.
Por ejemplo, mostrar un widget de cuadro de búsqueda en la página de finalizar compra / pago de su tienda online no proporciona ninguna ventaja a sus visitantes. En cambio, mostrar cupones de descuento para productos y servicios en la zona de widgets puede aumentar sus ofertas.
Del mismo modo, es posible que desee mantener su página de inicio limpia y reducir sus distracciones. Ocultar los widgets en la página de inicio la mantendrá despejada y aumentará la participación de los usuarios en su sitio web de WordPress.
Lamentablemente, WordPress no ofrece la opción de mostrar u ocultar widgets por defecto.
Dicho esto, veamos cómo puede mostrar fácilmente widgets en páginas específicas utilizando un plugin de WordPress.
Mostrar/Ocultar Widgets de WordPress en Páginas Específicas
Puedes ocultar o mostrar fácilmente widgets en páginas específicas usando Opciones de Widget. Es un plugin completo de gestión de widgets que te ayuda a asignar y restringir widgets para diferentes páginas, entradas y dispositivos.
Nota: Si utilizas un tema de bloques, Widget Options convertirá las áreas de widgets basadas en bloques en áreas de widgets clásicas. Entonces, usted será capaz de utilizar el plugin para mostrar / ocultar widgets a través de su sitio.
En primer lugar, debes instalar y activar el plugin Widget Options. Para más detalles, consulte nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.
Una vez activado, puede empezar visitando la página Ajustes ” Opciones de widget desde la barra lateral de administrador de WordPress. Aquí encontrarás las diferentes opciones que ofrece el plugin para personalizar tus widgets.
Asegúrese de que la opción “Pantalla de widgets clásica” está activada para poder ocultar o mostrar widgets en su sitio web.
Después, basta con hacer clic en el botón “Configurar ajustes” del cuadro “Visibilidad de las páginas”.
Desde aquí, puedes controlar dónde serán visibles tus widgets y elegir dónde no quieres que se muestren.
Por defecto, el plugin tendrá activada la pestaña de tipos de contenido, la pestaña de taxonomías y las opciones de la pestaña miscelánea.
Sin embargo, puede desmarcar la casilla de cualquier opción para personalizar la visibilidad de los widgets en diferentes páginas.
Cuando hayas hecho los cambios, sólo tienes que hacer clic en el botón “Guardar ajustes”.
A continuación, dirígete a la página Apariencia ” Widgets desde tu barra lateral de administrador y haz clic en cualquier widget que quieras mostrar u ocultar. Esto expandirá los ajustes del widget, y verás opciones para la visibilidad del widget.
Ahora, en el menú desplegable “Ocultar / Mostrar”, seleccione la opción “Ocultar en página marcada” o “Mostrar en páginas marcadas” según prefiera.
Por defecto, los widgets estarán ocultos en las páginas marcadas, pero puede cambiar esta opción para mostrar los widgets en las páginas marcadas.
A continuación, la pestaña “Varios” ofrece opciones para ocultar widgets en la página de inicio / página de inicio, la sección del blog, los archivos, las páginas 404 y la página de búsqueda.
A continuación, vaya a la pestaña “Tipos de entradas” y elija en qué páginas desea ocultar o mostrar el widget de WordPress.
Por último, puede ir a la pestaña ‘Taxonomías’ y seleccionar categorías para ocultar o mostrar sus widgets de WordPress.
Esto significa que el widget se mostrará u ocultará para las entradas del blog con esa categoría específica de WordPress.
Por último, no olvides hacer clic en el botón “Guardar” para almacenar tus ajustes.
Ahora puede visitar su sitio web para verlo en acción.
Para este tutorial, solo hemos mostrado el widget ‘Buscar’ en la página ‘Blog’ y lo hemos ocultado en todas las demás páginas de nuestro sitio web WordPress.

This widget doesn’t work at all. It doesn’t change the widget options or anything.
WPBeginner Support says
The plugin has not been updated for the new widget block editor, you can disable it to use the classic widget editor to see the options following our guide below:

After hours of perusing all my WP Theme options (why it takes me this long to solve problems I’ll never know) I Googled how to show widgets on certain pages and not others…and found your post.
It’s SO easy now. How I lived without it before I’ll never know. Actually, I don’t think I was living. Thanks!

The plugin referenced does not work. I installed Widget Context and activated it. However, the Appearance | Widgets page still only shows the defaults (Blog Sidebar, Footer 1, and Footer 2.) The dialog box you show does not appear, even after closing the browser and reentering.
WPBeginner Support says
The section should be on individual widgets. If they are not appearing you may need to reach out to the plugin’s support to see possible issues.

Sir, I bought the Business 5 theme from the instamajo on October 3, 2018. I have 2 problems in customizing this theme.
1. Apperiance >> Customize >> Widget
Sidebar 1 is not visible here in place of widget and a message is visible
Your theme has 1 other widget area, but this particular page does not display it.
You can navigate to other pages on your site while using the Customizer to view and edit the widgets on those pages.
How to solve this problem
2. The option of logging in footer area of this theme is also coming, how to remove it
Please request to the Wpbeginner team to resolve these issues.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Vikram,
Your theme does not display widgets on the page you are viewing in the customizer. An easier way to add widgets is by going to Appearance > Widgets page instead.

Abby says
Hello, I don’t know to get my subscribe widget to show on every page. Right now it shows on every page on my computer but only shows on my “About Me” Page for others. I have selected for it to appear everywhere. Can you help?
Katie says
So I am totally new to this whole thing. I managed to get the TopConsult theme installed and now Widget Context but unless I am being a dumb blonde it’t not working. When I click on a widget the only option I have is to add or cancel. As well as there are “default widgets” built into the theme one of which is a smart slider that I only want to appear on the home page! And it doesn’t look like I can edit those at all? Can anybody help me?!
Phil says
Widget Context clashes with Site Origin Widgets and disallows access to the Widgets.php file.
Julie Spears says
I am trying to use the visibility option on my Text widget to hide the sidebar from a specific page. But it isn’t working. The widget still shows up on that page. Any ideas?
Gary McGeown says
super, one more small job completed.
Thanks,

Sergio says
The “popular posts” widget isn’t visible to the public. How can this be adjusted?
john says
I am sorry but widget context does not have the ability to display on every page? If I click the setting that says show widget everywhere it does not display my slider widget on every page. If I click on show widget on selected and enter a custom URL (the URL to one of the pages on my site) it still does not show the slider widget on that page. I am not sure why or how to fix this but help would be appreciated.
Anand says
have a similar issue as John..

David Norwood says
Thank you for your reply. I need a plugin like Display Widget, as I have it set up to show menus on the sidebar in specific categories . Maybe I am doing it incorrectly, but it seems to be more global?
David Norwood says
Thank you for the plug-in suggestion. I need a replacement for Display Widget
however, widget context Untested with your version of WordPress, which is the most recent .
Do you if it will be updated anytime soon?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi David,
We tested it with the latest WordPress version and it works well.

Hi David,
Thanks for the heads up. We have removed the plugin mention and replaced it with a new plugin.

David Norwood says
which plugin did you replace Display Widget with. I have not been able to get Widget options to work yet.
Noel says
Hi All, it seems this plugin has been removed. Anyone know of another plugin that operates in the same way – showing certain widgets on certain pages and hiding sidebar (show full width page) on pages you do not want the widgets to appear on – similar to what Display Widgets did?
Joel Newcomer says
Widget Options is the best alternative that I’ve been able to find.
Alex says
Unfortunately, it looks like the latest WordPress update broke editing the widgets. The settings I had set for my widgets before the update remain, but I can’t change them or add settings to future widgets. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Steve says
This all works great, however, there is one situation where it does NOT work and that is for a specific URL that is part of a third party integration, like aMember.
The aMember page do not appear as any of the normal taxonomy, so you would need to somehow add the specific URL to the widget. So far I do not see that functionality.
Wondering if there is another way to hide widgets you want to shown on the rest of the site, but not on these third party integration pages. Any ideas?
Steve says
Took me only a few minutes to figure this one out, here’s the solution:
For any pages that reside outside of the WordPress taxonomy, you can use the logic setting. Click the gear symbol, then open the “logic” tab.
In my case, simply entering the conditional: is_page( $page = ‘/member/*.php’ )
hides the widgets on all pages associated with my WP integrated third party membership scripts.
Mark Saffell says
Thank you! This was the perfect video. It made my life easy. Great job.
Michael J Ming says
Almost too easy. I used Display Widget for the first time and it did exactly want I wanted it too.
Miriam says
The widget is only showing up on categories, not on pages. I have tried all different combinations and none but categories are working. Please help.
resa says
Uninstall it. It’s generating spam. Try the one suggested above.
Lori says
I’m using the Divi theme and the widget isn’t showing on the pages I checked. I have updated to the latest version of the theme and WordPress. Help!

will this allow me to use controversial content without being banned by google adsense
Shaun Taylor says
Hello,
This is great and just what I’m looking for, however Is there a way, instead of showing or hiding on different pages, to show and hide in different sections?
For example if my site structure is:
Home
About
–Subpage
–Subpage
–Subpage
Work
Services
–Subpage
–Subpage
–Subpage
Contact
So rather than me having to choose all of the sub pages in the service section, can I just choose everything under example.com/services/ will show or hide a certain widget?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,
I have removed text widget from blog, still it is loading when I am opening the site.
Please tell me what should I do.
WPBeginner Support says
You are probably seeing a cached version of your blog. Purge your cache and revisit the page.

Thank you but even now it is showing widget in Older post pages.
Is there a plugin to stop it showing in older pages like page no 2 page 3 page 4 etc.
Victor says
Hey, does this work with WP 4.5.4 or later? Because I have installed it and shows no difference. Im trying to hide a widget from a page.
Thanks
Steph says
I am having exactly the same problem, it used to work for me but has stopped working recently
Mahendra says
It will work 100% on some themes.
But in other themes when you will hide widget, a message will display instead of widget.
I have a trick for second type of themes.
Add only text widget, inside the text widget, text will be nothing.
I have used this trick in my sites. for example I have used in my own site.
Jeff says
Thanks for the post, i’ve been trying to figure this out for quite some time

I don´t think it works with WP 4.5?

I installed and used Widgets Display plugin. why hidden widgets are still occupying space in the site pages. I mean the there should be left only one column showing the text on the whole screen. Now the widgets are not showing but space is empty. please provide solution of this problem
