Confusion regarding logic
-
First of all – fantastic plugin!
Right now, as a new user, I’m having a really hard time getting my head around the sparsity of the language for the logic. What I mean by that, is that it is not clear, for example, to Show on Pages, when we select the “Show” drop-down, is it showing on all pages WITH exception of the checked pages, or WITHOUT exception of the checked pages.
In addition, because of this confusion, doing a simple task, such as showing a widget on ALL pages, or hiding a widget on ALL pages, is very hard to understand. I think part of the problem we’re having is that this (fantastic) plugin, allows very granular control, and trying to do a much coarser adjustment is harder to understand.
So! I’ve discussed this at length with a new WordPress user (& client), and we have the suggested change (let me know if our logic is wrong..):
Instead of “Pages -> Hide on all pages”
Change it to “Pages -> Hide on all pages, except:”
Change it to “Pages -> Show on all pages, Including:”This makes it clear from a (less granular) perspective, that choosing the “Hide on all pages, except” option means that the widget will be hidden on ALL pages, and choosing pages would provide an exception.
Let me know if this makes sense, I’d love to discuss helping on the language to make the UX better.
