Title: [Plugin: Widget Context] can't target page by URL Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Widget Context] can't target page by URL * [dralezero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dralezero/) * (@dralezero) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/) * I am using WordPress 3.0.1 MU. I try to target a widget by URL so it only shows on that page but it won’t show. Nor can I show on all and hide on that URL. It just shows on all. All other options work such as showing on only Single pages. * I tried full url with http:// and `/page/*` `page/*` `page/`, etc * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-context/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-context/) Viewing 15 replies - 16 through 30 (of 38 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/?output_format=md) 2 [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/3/?output_format=md) * [lanceng](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lanceng/) * (@lanceng) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645033) * GREAT PLUGIN! * Tks! * [Zathman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zathman/) * (@zathman) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645034) * +1 to TakeoK +4 to jpmorganjr * Thanks you guys!

Your assistance here is much appreciated and makes this such a great community! * Kaspars (author of the plugin) * [jpmorganjr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jpmorganjr/) * (@jpmorganjr) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645038) * Cheers Kaspars. Any chance you can integrate the changes into the actual plugin? I don’t know how to do it. * [Scott Hendison](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyber49/) * (@cyber49) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645039) * I would love to see the plugin get updated – It’ s mandatory on every site we do now… * Actually, [@kaspars](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaspars/) I wonder if you might allow us to integrate your installation with our own plugin? – We’ve added a couple of other indispensable plugins too (with their permission of course)– [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-wp-core-tweaks/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-wp-core-tweaks/) * [prestonisgreat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prestonisgreat/) * (@prestonisgreat) * [14 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645041) * [@jpmorganjr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jpmorganjr/) and the winner is “/without/trailing/slash”. * I also added a **title** to the widget which might have helped it function properly. * Thanks! * [prestonisgreat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prestonisgreat/) * (@prestonisgreat) * [14 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645042) * Also be aware that the “or target by URL” section is case sensitive… The URL has to look exactly like it looks in the web browser. * (ie. /without/trailing/slash = /without/trailing/slash AND /without/Trailing/ Slash = /without/Trailing/Slash) * [Jason Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasontrasaterracom/) * (@jasontrasaterracom) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645063) * I’m pretty disappointed that this plugin has stopped working correctly. I can no longer target all posts in a category such as category/books/* (or any variation that you’d think would work). It seems like it’s only stopped working after the last update of WordPress. * [Scott Hendison](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyber49/) * (@cyber49) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645064) * Any news or a planned release for .8 version? Maybe making targeting urls simpler? * [ned4spd8874](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ned4spd8874/) * (@ned4spd8874) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645065) * +1 to jpmorganjr! * [idealform01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idealform01/) * (@idealform01) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645066) * I can’t get target URL to work either, I have tried all of these: * /legal_education/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-for-online-video/ legal_education/ code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-for-online-video/ /legal_education/code-of- best-practices-in-fair-use-for-online-video legal_education/code-of-best-practices- in-fair-use-for-online-video * this is the only page I want this widget to show up on but I can’t get it working for the life of me. I have nothing selected to the left, the only thing I have selected is “show on selected”. * I have tried with the updated code and with out. I have tried with the full URL and various combinations. I have the latest WP version. I have no idea how to get this working, any help would be greatly appreciated. * Thanks * [ned4spd8874](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ned4spd8874/) * (@ned4spd8874) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645067) * User jpmorganjr’s fix and just enter “/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-for- online-video” and see if that fixes it for you. What’s your site address? That might be helpful if you are still having problems. * [idealform01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idealform01/) * (@idealform01) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-context/page/2/#post-1645068) * it’s on my local machine currently. I just tried it and no cigar :/ would it be the WP version?
