The Widget Context Plugin from one of the recent upgrades is really useful for selectively displaying certain widgets in the sidebar on only specific pages. This is helpful for drawing the focus to content on your content pages and filling the sidebar with social media on the blog page. Though it works well it follows a logic that is…well…hardly logical. After much frustration I found this thread from the WP forum where the developer answers a number of how-to questions. Useful if you’re going to make use of this plugin!

(also, contrary to the URL, it does work, someone was just upset I suppose) 🙂

Thanks for posting this, Valerie. I am also going to put it in the Commons Codex to help people understand what the plugin does.

Ah great. I knew something like the codex must exist but didn’t think of where to look. Thanks!
