Widget Appearing Where It Shouldn’t
-
I recently moved to Custom Sidebars after retiring Display Widgets WordPress Plugin.
Things were progressing nicely until I ran into this issue. I have a set of “Related Post”-type widgets I only want to appear on pages of a very specific custom post type. However, in addition to properly appearing on that post type the widget with that setting is also displaying on some other pages that are not of that post type.

The above page is a search page for all posts of that custom post type, but clearly isn’t that post type itself and yet, notice the several widgets there that make no sense given the context. The old widget plugin we used had no such issue with this.
How do I fix this?

Hello @agrajag27,
Thank for the screenshots. I was able to setup similar site with that and I was able to replicate this issue with visibility. I will talk with developer about that, why this setting also covers archive pages for terms related to post type.
At the moment I can propose solution that will only display widgets on single post type pages. Instead of hide/show single widgets create a new sidebar with those widegts that should show only on post types and in sidebar location setup “For all Single Entries matching selected criteria” and select sidebar you want to replace for ” for selected Post Types” and put there movies
That way those widgets will show only on single post type pages.
kind regards,
Kasia
