 * I noticed there are a few widget control plugin (you are able to turn specific
   widget on/off on specific pages of the site.
    I’ve never gotten them to “work”
   in 4.9.5. I.e. if I say “Hide widget ‘Categories: recipes’ on page Blog” the 
   widget nevertheless is displayed on the Blog page. The only thing I’ve managed
   to hide is the search box, but not if I specify a specific page (only if I specify
   all pages).
 * It seems I’m missing something? What can that be?

 * Please identify exactly which plugin you are using and then post in that plugin’s
   dedicated forum via its page in the [Plugin Repository](https://wordpress.org/plugins/).
 * You could submit a support thread to the plugin’s support forum to report the
   issue, so they can take action as appropriate.

 * I get the result from all plugins, which was why I didn’t … I can do so of course.

 * Try switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Seventeen, etc.) and see 
   of those plugins work with default theme.

 * Testing some more here.
    I got the widget to be hidden on “All Archive pages”
   but not on my named page. Bot with a standrad template and my edited one. So 
   maybe I should go look at the plugin forum.
