 * Hi.
 * i have this code in my function.php:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'sidebars_widgets', function( $sidebars_widgets ) {
   
           $sidebar_index = 'sidebar-1';
   
           if( isset( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] ) )
           {
                 shuffle( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] );
       	  $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] = array_slice( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index], 0, 8 );
   
           }
           return $sidebars_widgets;
       }, PHP_INT_MAX );
       ```
   
 * Working perfect. I see 8 randomly widgets in one widget area. Problem is a see
   8 randomly widgets in my administration too. It is possible to make an exception
   in this code for admin area. I will see all widget there.
 * Thanks.

 * try working with `is_admin()`, i.e. try to change the one line to:
 * `if( !is_admin() && isset( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] ) )`

 * I use is_front_page() and seems to be working.
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'sidebars_widgets', function( $sidebars_widgets ) {
   
           $sidebar_index = 'sidebar-1';
   
           if( is_front_page() && isset( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] ) )
           {
                 shuffle( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] );
       	  $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] = array_slice( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index], 0, 7 );
   
           }
           return $sidebars_widgets;
       }, PHP_INT_MAX );
       ```
   
 * Thank you to kick me in right way.
