   I installed Widget Logic and it works great for almost everything. The only problem I am having is that for some reason it won't exclude a widget on a page that I am using a particular template on. I have the following code:

   !is_page(array(144,174,146,208)

   It works for all of the pages except for page 146. I am using a template on that page that calls certain posts in a particular category:

   <?php
   $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts("cat=10&showposts=5&paged=$page");
   ?>

   The weird thing is that I am using the code:

   is_page(array(144,174,146,208)

   for another widget that I want to only show up on those pages and it works fine.

   Any ideas why I can't exclude the widget from that page?

   Thanks!

   some possible things to try that might shed some light:

   what happens if you narrow down the logic to just !is_page(146) for widget A and is_page(146) for widget B?

   what happens if you don't use that code in the template?

   does the 'wp_reset_query' option have any effect?

   !is_page(146) still doesn't work :(

   It does work if I remove the code from the page template, but I really need that code in there. Hmmm...

   Add this at the end of your template (before the call to your widget area):

   <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

   Basically, your query is probably telling WP that you're on a category archive rather than a page, so you need to reset it.

   i would love to know if the 'wp_reset_query' option (at the foot of the widget admin page) has any effect. it *should* have the same effect as greenshady's suggestion.

   Thanks Greenshady! That worked.

   The weird thing is that the 'wp_reset_query' option (at the foot of the widget admin page) didn't work, but it did work once I added it to my page template.

   Thanks both of you for all your help!!!

   ok thanks. looks like i could do with checking out how well that option is working cos it's meant to deal with exactly that sort of coding issue.

   cheers

   Oh. I was wrong.

   Adding <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> woorked, but it reset the page so that my other code` <?php
   $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts("cat=10&showposts=5&paged=$page");
   ?>` didn't work :(

   I guess I can't have both?
