   "Custom Widgets" works wonders! It's perfect for having Certain Widgets on Certain Pages/Categories/Tags/etc. Period. Maybe Widget Logic should incorprate features from "Custom Widgets" in each widget edit box.

   Constructive Criticism!

   i'm all for it! not tried this plugin myself tho. i did ask for feature suggestions a while back, but nothing came back. Widget Logic has a simple interface but sadly it's TOO simple for the absolute beginner to use. I briefly considered a toggle that opened up a larger interface that was more point/click, but anything i came up with was just so ugly and complicated.

   so if anyone has any specific constructive criticism, i'll take it on board. but i'm not chasing users, I originally came up with WL to fix a problem that wasn't addressed at the time, that fixed it in a way i found convenient and flexible.

   here's slayers way to do it

   let's also give a plug to konstruktor's widget context plugin too

   I just LOOOOOOVE widget logic. It's just a rock and roll plugin. I mean, it's taken me a while to learn how to state my widget display "rules" in "logic" that WP can understand, but I've created a unique experience for visitors vs. logged in members with page by page and post by post selections with widget logic. I don't know if other plugins can do this, but I am a big fan and I am very very grateful that widget logic exists.

   I tried Widget Logic, but needed something much more user friendly. I ended up writing Display Widgets. It uses check boxes instead of requiring markup. It may be difficult to manage on sites with lots of pages.
