Dynamic Widgets 1.0.1

I’ve just uploaded version 1.0.1 of Dynamic Widgets. Just one feature have been added by request to be able to set display option for the error 404 page. I probably won’t make this version an official (stable) release.

If you want to use this extra feature, you’ll have to use the development version.

UPDATE: This feature is now available in the official version 1.1.

Dynamic Widgets 1.0

This is the first release of Dynamic Widgets. A plugin for WordPress which gives you more control over your widgets. It lets you dynamicly place widgets on WordPress pages by excluding or including rules for the homepage, single posts, pages, categories and archives.

The plugin has been written out of frustration Sabine from (Warning: Shoes addict ahead) stilettogirl.nl had. She wanted to have more control over the widgets. After looking into a couple of already existing plugins which were not satisfactory, she came to me. Of course I couldn’t say no to her and ‘Dynamic Widgets’  was born.

To demonstrate the plugin, you’ll not see a ‘Recent Posts’ widget at the left side in the sidebar on the front page. On other pages (About, this single post, the Dynamic Widgets Category page) the ‘Recent Posts’ widget is displayed.

The widget ‘Dynamic Widgets’ which shows the latest release and a download link of the plugin is only displayed at the front page, the Dynamic Widgets page and the Dynamic Widgets Category page.
