   I am using Widget Logic 0.46, Wordpress 2.82, and Thesis 1.51 with a static "Front" page and all posts on the "Blog" page.

   I want the main widgets (including Recent Posts, Recent Comments, Archives) to only appear on the "Blog" page but when I try to set these widgets to do this by using "is_page('blog')"or "is_page('pg id'), they simply disappear from the "Blog" page.

   Am I doing something wrong?
   Is this a bug?
   Is there a work around?

   Thank you,
   JW

   Try out is_home() instead.

   I got this to work for me is_page(43) but I want to add a few other pages to it. Only on select pages is what I need. I have done the following and failed.
   is_page(43,327)
   is_page(43 327)
   is_page(43),(327)
   is_page(43)(327)

   Can you add more than one in the logic or do you have to create a new widget for each page I want to put it on?

   I really hope you can add more then one in each widget.

   Thank you
   Chris

   look at the last is_page() example in the codex's page on condtional tags

   is_home() solved my static page vs blog issue. I would like this to work on the tag page and the individual post page.

   So...

   works

   http://www.dennisstevens.com/2009/09/01/methods-practices-and-outcomes/
   doesn't

   http://www.dennisstevens.com/tag/project-management/
   doesn't

   I tried is_page('tag') but it didn't work.

   Thanks, this is a cool widget.

   please read http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

   is_tag() will work for tag pages in general or specific tag pages

   is_single() will work for single posts in general or specific single posts

   then if you want a widget to appear on a combination of those you can OR them together

   is_tag(x) || is_single(y) -- will appear on tag page X or single post Y

   Thanks so much. That is possibly the coolest widget ever.
