    Hello forum,

    Is it possible to remove widgets that are normally viewable on the blog page from the posts direct url page?

    Thanks

    Unless you want to dig into the functions file, probably preferable but daunting, then you can use plugins. It depends on your needs and how much you need to whip your widgets into submission.

    The Custom Sidebars widgets has a free and pro version. I've never ponied up the money for the pro because it just doesn't seem worth it...although the free version is a truly awesome thing. I would only use this if you need a lot of control over your sidebars and widgets. A professional blogger I worked with to customize her site used it and I was amazed what the free version did. https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/. Basically you can create new sidebars for specific pages, categories, etc. and then assign those sidebars accordingly. It won't "hide" or "show" sidebars though. THat is only in the pro version

    If all you want to do is hide/show a few sidebars then you can probably use the JP Widget Visibility. This is what Jetpack has without having to activate the entire JetPack plugin. So if you're already using Jetpack, just activate "VIsibility" and you're done. You won't need this. https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack-widget-visibility/

    To use it, add a widget to a sidebar or footer and then click the "visibility" button at the bottom. SHOW or HIDE the widget for specific pages, posts, categories, etc. You can click the little + symbol to add multiple pages/posts/categories, etc to show or hide.

    Great! I'm glad it was helpful. I love the Custom Sidebar plugin and would love to see the Pro version in action. I just can't get my head around the cost. It seems ridiculously expensive.
