Widget Visibility: Cannot hide widget on the 2,3,… Overview Pages

    In my example, the plugin succesfully hides an item included in every blog post’s header. When you open the start page with the overview of the blog posts, it works.

    However, if you open the 2nd blog post overview page or the 3rd and so on… the plugin is not able to hide the item. Respectively, it is not possible to configure the plugin sensibly.

    Why? In the configuration of the plugin, one can choose ‘hide item xy on startpage’ but not ‘hide item xy on startpage AND the following overview pages’.

    Please help!

    Hi!

    I’m not sure I follow. Can you give me step-by-step what I need to do to reproduce this?

    Hi Richard,

    Here is what I did to reproduce the bug:
    0. Using WordPress 3.8.1, default theme, and Jetpack 2.9.2
    1. Prepared about 12 posts on my localhost WP installation. This is to trigger pagination on my front page (which is my latest posts).
    2. From Widgets page in my admin area, I configured my search widget to hide if page is front page.
    3. When I open my front page, which is currently showing the first page of my latest posts, the search widget is hidden.
    4. If I open the next page of my latest posts, the search widget is displayed again.
    5. If edit visibility options for my search widget to: hide if page is posts page, the search widget is never hidden.

    Hope that was clear enough.
    Thanks.

    Ah, I see what you mean, then. So, in your expectation, you’d expect Page 2 to have the same result as if it were still the Front Page, correct? I can see why that would make sense. And in fact, there is ongoing discussion regarding the settings for the Widget Visiblity module, here:

    Feel free to weigh in with your thoughts on the relevant ticket.
