 * I ended up buying Pro and it worked exactly as I wanted. With all the time I 
   was spending trying to find a good solution, it just made more sense to spend
   the $20 and give it a try. It seems to have paid off. Pro works just how I want
   and was very easy to get going.

 * I had been using regular tabs and Incognito tabs to test it out. There is no 
   server cache that I am aware of. I’m glad to hear that the day functionality 
   exists in the Pro plugin, but I’m not ready to commit to that if I cant even 
   get the Basic version to behave/dismiss properly. What is the intended design
   for the lightbox when it is dismissed? Is it supposed to continue to pop up on
   every page? I tried this on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox and got the same behavior
   in each one: dismiss the lightbox, but it continues to show up on every subsequent
   page load.

 * I tried adjusting the lightbox behavior to see if that helps. I was able to get
   the lightbox to refrain from loading on every page after a dismissal or successful
   submission if I enabled the **Reappear after [1] day using cookie** setting.
 * Unfortunately, this still does not provide acceptable user experience for two
   reasons. First, I cant change the [1] day value. If someone dismisses the lightbox,
   I dont want to harass them every single day. Something like once a month would
   be more appropriate. Why isnt this value able to be edited? Second, the lightbox
   still appears the next day for users that submitted the form. If a user submitted
   the form and made it on to the mailing list, they should _never_ be prompted 
   to sign up again. I was able to test this behavior by adjusting my computer’s
   system time to simulate what the behavior would be after several days.

 * I just figured this out. My users were tagged as “Editors” which still are apparently
   considered by WordPress to be Administrators.
 * `current_user_can('administrator') == true`
 * I changed my users to Author and then the plugin worked as advertised.

 * Did either of you get this resolved? I also simply doesnt work for me. I deactivated
   all other plugins and switched to 2015 theme and the WordPress admin still shows
   everything – all Posts and all custom post types.

 * Actually, I guess `is_home` is supposed to be true.
 * Anyway, after digging around the source code of DW and WP I was able to figure
   out the right settings for DW. I must admit, I wasn’t expecting everything to
   be triggered to ON/YES by default. But I guess that is inline with the default
   WordPress widget behavior.
 * Still, once a widget is set to dynamic, it seems to make more sense to me to 
   whitelist all the places the widget should appear rather than blacklist them.
   I know theres the “Set all options to NO” field so it can be done either way.
   I just got a little confused is all and now I’m rambling.
 * Thanks again for your help and attention. I have what I need.

 * I’m not afraid of a little debugging and PHP code! 🙂
 * It looks like `WhoAmI = 'front-page'` because `$wp_query->is_home = true`. That
   is definitely wrong so I guess I have to dig a little deeper but it doesn’t seem
   like this is a DW issue like you suspected. Thanks for the direction. If it looks
   like it comes around full circle and becomes a DW issue, I’ll post back here.
   Otherwise, thanks for the help.

 * Thanks for the quick response. Even if it was reported on a page, it seems odd
   that they would be rendered on the archive since DW should be checking if it 
   is on the section page or below – and the archive is not in any of those sections.
   At least In my mind, the values being reported shouldn’t matter at all in this
   case… but obviously if I knew better, I wouldn’t be asking this question!
 * I’m somewhat new to WP theme development but I dont mind hacking the Canvas base
   theme if I have to. Can you point me in the right direction to make the theme
   report the proper value?

 * Thanks Stephan. I worked around the issue for now by modifying your source code
   and adding an additional event that was triggered at the end of the slide transitions.
   I handled that event and used my custom handler to force IE 8 to take a regular
   Fade transition.
 * I can try to push that to your repo if you have that capability.

 * I suspect that this won’t get a ton of attention so maybe a solution would be
   to provide a built-in alternate transition for IE8 browsers? Or maybe you can
   just provide a hook into the JavaScript so I can manually take control of the
   transition and selectively serve a hardcoded transition to IE8?
