Stop plugin from adding class .widget to widgets ...

The plugin adds the class .widget to all of my widgets, which is getting picked up by the theme and is applying additional CSS that I don’t need. How do I remove the class .widget from my widgets? Why is this even on by default? Because this might be confusing for people that don’t even notice the additional class.

Add overlay on background-image option (Extended Widget Options)

I'm using the theme "Astrid" that when I add a background-image automatically the theme add an overlay to make dark the image then I can add legible text above.

After installing Widget-options all my widgets with background-image, has disappeared the overlay above the images, making very hard to read the contents.

It's possivel add this functionality when we use a background-image? or how can edit the widget without destroy my changes after an update?

Thanks!

Set predefined CSS classes list

Hi,

Great plugin, thank you for it!

From what I can see there is no easy way to predefine a set of custom CSS classes. I am a theme author and would like to provide such a set, however, currently the only solution I can see is to hook onto and modify the serialized widgetopts_tabmodule-settings option. Or am I missing something and is there a different, easier solution?

Please consider introducing a filter hook for this.

Thank you!

Sort categories as is, not alphabetically

Hello,

Is it possible to sort categories as is, not alphabetically?

Widgets automatically removed if add from customizer and not saved.

When adding widgets (like search , meta etc. which do not require saving any options (If no widget title used)) inside customizer. These widgets removed by the plugin automatically.

Display Widget Logic for Super Admins only on Multisite

Hi,

I have a lot of Multisite installs with hundreds of websites running on them. Mostly client websites. I don't allow them to modify any code, so the installation remain safe.

The Display Widget Logic option allows them to write any PHP code, which is not a good idea in a Multisite install.

Please add a condition for the Display Widget Logic to show this only for Super Admins, if it is a Multisite install. It is very easy to add this using the unfiltered_html capability, which belongs only to Super Admins if it is a Multisite, but belongs to the normal Admin on a normal install.

This capability is meant to be used in these very situations, so please add this feature, Multisite owners will love this move. :)

Thank you!

PHP errors after upgrade to 3.7

I posted this on the WP support forums before reading the sticky posts. Figured I'd post it here as well, as it seemed like it is preferred to bring issues here.

I upgraded to version 3.7 today, and now I’m getting a number of PHP errors on every page load, whether in the admin or on the front end.

Here’s one of these errors:

PHP message: PHP Notice:  Undefined index: acf in /wordpress-path/wp-content/plugins/widget-options/includes/widgets/display.php on line 222

This happens at least ten times on each page load.

I’m not running Advanced Custom Fields at all, in case that is relevant.

Error on Safari

There is an error showing when I access pages in our site using the current version of Safari:

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/content/a2pnexwpnas04_data01/07/3557007/html/wp-content/plugins/widget-options/core/functions.option.tabs.php on line 30

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/content/a2pnexwpnas04_data01/07/3557007/html/wp-content/plugins/widget-options/core/functions.widget.display.php on line 30

I also see a flash of something similar on Chrome but it seems to clear after the first hit. This is showing at the top of the page and shows errors all over the page on older versions of safari.

Allow Display Logic to be disabled with constant

Because of the potential security risks associated with allowing text to be directly eval'd, it would be great if we could disable "Display Logic" with a wp-config.php constant. While I'm currently using the existing filter, widget_options_logic_override to disable it, it would be nice to be able to disable it with a constant.

Support for is_active_sidebar()

The Wordpress function is_active_sidebar() can be used to check whether any widgets are loaded into a sidebar.

When a widget is loaded into the sidebar but is hidden via Widget Options, I expectis_active_sidebar()to return false.

Currently it returns true - is_active_sidebar() treats a hidden widget as an active widget.

Can you inform Wordpress that a hidden widget is not active?

if ( is_active_sidebar('sidebar-1') ) {
// if there are some widgets loaded into the sidebar AND they are not hidden via Widget Options
  get_sidebar();
}
else {
// else no widgets loaded into sidebar, or the ones that are loaded are hidden via Widget Options
}

Thanks,
Dan

Suggestion to import 'Display widgets' settings

Great plugin. Just a suggestion - now that the plugin "display Widgets" has been defunct due to recent spamming issues, it might be a good idea to add a "import settings from display widgets" option in your plugin? It would really help people who have that plugin installed on loads of sites & need to replace it with this plugin

Tag Archive Pages Show ALL widgets

I have many of my widgets set to only show on select post type/pages or taxonomy/categories. It is working fine for all the assigned pages and categories, only showing the correct widget on the associated page or category. Having a problem on the tag archive pages. These pages are showing ALL of my widgets.

For example, see this tag archive page that shows all widgets. No widgets should appear. -- http://www.zekiah.com/zekiah_wordpress/tag/arcmap

I thought about making my archive pages full width in my theme files, but that also affects my category pages that need the sidebar.

Show/hide not working on Categories?

Hi there,

We'be installed your plugin and are only trying to show widgets on pages that have a particular category selected however this doesn't appear to be working? I'm assuming it's as simple as select "show page on" > taxonomy > tick category and thats it? Any other steps required?

Widget Shows on Single Post When All Categories Chosen

I posted this on https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-shows-on-single-post-when-all-categories-chosen/, but I'll post it here as well since it seems like this may be the right place:

"We recently started using your plugin for a number of client sites. We’re somewhat confused about how the “All Categories” option works under the “Taxonomies” within “Visibility”. Here’s the scenario:

• We have a widget that we set to “Show on checked pages”
• We checked “All Categories”
• When we visit a single post of a custom post type the widget shows up

Upon digging into the code it looks like if “All Categories” is checked and the page is_single() even if it’s not a blog post the widget will still show. It seems like that should only be the case for blog posts, not custom post types.

Let me know if you need me to explain in more depth. Thanks for considering this."

jQuery UI css conflicts

Hello,
I'm using your amazing plugin, it's working correctly, although I've noticed some jQuery UI conflict in the page of other plugins. I'm attaching an image:

How can I solve this problem?
Is it possible to avoid to load the jQuery library inside the page of other plugins?

Thank you very much,

Bug when aply php logic in widget visibility

I'm trying aply php code for widget visibility, but when I use the following character "<" doesn't work.
in the line 360 aproximately, the eval funtion don't understand this character and interpret that this character y an HTML entity.

Estoy intentando aplicar código PHP para cambiar la visibilidad de un widget, pero cuando introduzco el caracter "<", el plugin no funciona.
He investigado y he visto que en la linea 360 aproximadamente, la función eval no funciona al interpretar este código como un elemento de HTML (la llave de abrir etiquetas).

Te dejo una posible solución a esto.

$display_logic="return (" . html_entity_decode($display_logic, ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401 | ENT_QUOTES) . ");";

Conflict between Jetpack Related Posts and Widget Options

Not sure if this is a JetPack issue or Widget Options issue, but my related posts widget from Jetpack lines up incorrectly (see oatandsesame.com sidebar) when Widget Options is activated. When I deactivate it lines back up. This only happens on my home page and not on individual posts. Any ideas?

jQuery UI css conflicts

Hi -

It looks like the JQUI CSS enqueued by the plugin is conflicting with some other plugins, so that buttons and other elements in the WP Admin area are affected. Would it be possible to add an option in the plugin settings to make enqueuing this UI theme optional?

Thanks

CPTs no longer show in visibility options

Hello

Recently realized that my custom post types no longer appear on the visibility options.

I am using Toolset Types.

I'm a newb, please advise me on how to troubleshoot or fix this

Removing sidebar from single posts

Please forgive me if my terminology is bad. I'm combining my web site and old blog on Wordpress.org using Photocrati. So far, so good, but I would like to have the sidebar only on the blog page and not on the single post pages. I activated Widget Options and got it to work, but... although it has removed the sidebar, I still have the space left on the right hand side. Can you help please?

Is there a widget that would allow a vertical list of buttons?

Something like this:

I've selected the Beaver Builder Support option but...

I can't see how it applies to any WP widget I select.

Suggestion: visibility for post type archive

Love the plugin.

Just a quick suggestion: It would be nice if you added the option to filter the visibility of post type archives. Currently there is the option for "Archives" but that covers every archive.

A use case is to show sidebar widgets for a certain custom post type, such as WooCommerce.

Thanks

problem with plugin

Hi. This plugin magically disappeared from my wordpress site. I've been trying to add it again and get the following error "Installation failed: Destination folder already exists." I don't see widget options on my list of plugins.
Please tell me what to do.
Best,
Rachel

On/Off switch for plugin

This is a usability suggestion:
As the options appear on every widget whether they're used or not, for sites with lots of widgets and complex placements, it's fastidious when maintaining the site to scroll through all the visibility pages and other options to see which, if any, has been checked, or any CSS or logic entered.

So I'd suggest putting a checkbox on top, to globally enable or disable widget options.
This would make it very easy to check out if any option has been entered (box checked), at a single glance, before starting scrollling down for specific pages or the various tabs.

Not show on WooCommerce Shop page.

Thank you for your great product.

I've tried and found that - if I set the widget to show on WooCommerce's Shop page, it's not working.

How to reproduce?

Use any theme (This is Twenty Seventeen) and choose Show on checked pages. I choose "Shop" page and also "Product" post type.

Please advise,

Thank you so much.

Hide/Show on Pages Not Working

I'm using Widget Options Lite on a site with Elegant Theme's Extra theme; after a few recent theme updates, Widget Options' Hide/Show on selected pages/posts/etc no longer works. Regardless of what option(s) are chosen, the widgets still appear.

The test site I'm using isn't public and I can't currently grant access to it outside of my company, but I can provide any additional code/details on here as needed.

woocommerce main page (/shop) problems

On the woocommerce main page /shop the visibility doesn't work right. some widget are visible but set to invisible other are set to invisible but visible. On other paths it works.

Indent child pages

Would be very useful to me if you could indent and organize pages not alphabetically but by page and sub pages. Thanks

Warning Message when Activated

Hi! When I activate the plugin, I get this warning message across the top of my screen:

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas05_data01/14/2419114/html/wp-content/plugins/widget-options/core/functions.widget.display.php on line 30

I'm not sure what to do with this? Can you help?

Import / Export

We suggest that there should be a new feature to export all plugin’s settings. In many of our projects we do have hundreds of widgets and all of them include widget logic. We would very much appreciate to backup these logics. We use “Widget Importer & Exporter”, but this plugin only backups the widgets, without any 3rd party logic on them.

Thumbs up for your great plugin!
