![\"wordpress_widgets_visibility_managing_1\"](\"\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/wordpress_widgets_visibility_managing_1-259x300.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n- \r\n
Click on one of the modules in the right column to expand its options. There should be a separate button called Visibility<\/strong>. \u00a0Click on that to see its options.<\/p>\r\n

<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n- \r\n
The options\u00a0 are divided into 3 selection menus: Visible at, Visible on<\/strong> and Visible for<\/strong>. Every time you make changes to any of these selections you need to click Save<\/strong> to apply them to your widget. Let’s take a closer look at what each of the options is used for.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
- Visible at <\/strong>is used to enable or disable your widget on specific pages of your site depending on what sort of content they have:<\/p>\r\n
- \r\n
- On all pages;<\/strong><\/li>\r\n
- All Pages Expecting<\/strong> means ‘show this widget on all pages but..”<\/li>\r\n
- No Pages Expecting<\/strong>\u00a0 means ‘show it only on..” or “disable it\u00a0 on all pages but.”<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
How this works:<\/strong> for instance, you have a widget called “Archives” which you want to use on all pages but one particular post:<\/p>\r\n
Under Visibility of this widget you need to select: Visible at -> All Pages Expecting<\/strong>, Select the page to add -> Post. <\/p>\r\n
Page ID\/Title\/slug: -> your slug, (the slug can be copied if you go to Posts and click the Quick View button on\u00a0 your post or if you open the page with the post from the front end and copy it right from the page url address).<\/p>\r\n
Click ‘Add Page<\/strong>.’<\/p>\r\n

<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n- \r\n
Conversely, if you have a widget which you want to show on one particular post only, under Visibility <\/strong>of this widget you need to select: <\/p>\r\n
- \r\n
- Visible at -> No Pages Expecting <\/li>\r\n
- Select page to add -> Post <\/li>\r\n
- Page ID\/Title\/slug: -> your slug \u00a0<\/li>\r\n
And click “Add Page<\/strong>.”<\/p>\r\n

<\/a><\/p>\r\nBedside\u00a0 posts, the options can be applied to specific pages, categories, tags, archives, authors, etc. The number of posts\/pages, etc you want to select is unlimited.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
