 * I’m using the Widget Context plugin. Very easy to use once you figure it out.
   I have a strange probem that I just can’t seem to figure out.
 * When I use the plugin not all the widgets are showing up on pages they should
   be on. For example, on my home page I want all the widgets. Most of the pages
   will not have any widgets EXCEPT the Speaker page & it’s sub pages. I’ve entered
   speaker/* on all pages on the widgets. Some show up but not all. It does seem
   that those that aren’t showing up may be text widgets with images in them. All
   of my widget titles are custom images. Yet when I started everything on the front
   page worked fine. Yet the speaker pages were missing some widgets.
 * To make matters worse, I moved the site to a live site last night. Now some of
   the widgets aren’t showing up on the home page either. (Neither are my bullets
   but that’s a different problem)
 * My test site is [http://www.sandynorton.com/sandygluckman](http://www.sandynorton.com/sandygluckman)
   You can see all of the widgets on the home page. Then go to the Speaker page 
   and you’ll see what happens. I guarantee I have it correct in the settings. I
   have Show on Selected pages checked, Home and then speaker/*
 * I tested by deactivating the plugin and everything shows up properly. The minute
   I deactivate it, “some” go away. It just deson’t seem consistent.
 * Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?
 * I love the plugin when it works. And I really need it to work.

 * The plugin works good for my [blog ](http://www.ezaroorat.com)but the only problem
   I face is that I don’t get the feature “Target by URL” work for me. I’ve just
   written to the author, let’s wait and see.

 * Any updates on this problem? I seem to be having problems with the Target by 
   URL, also.

 * How are you inputting it? I have it working on several sites with no problem.
   However once in a while I forget and don’t check “Hide”
 * Also, in reviewing mine, I find that most are something like this
 * speaker/keynote-speaker without the full URL but in others I have the full URL.
   You might try it both ways.
 * The one one that has a static front page I’ve set it up with a wildcard such 
   as blog/* and those pages do not show up on any post in the blog.
 * Hope this helps some.
