Conditional logic doesn’t work

Hi @taka1,

We will take our time to review this carefully and coordinate with our dev team for further action. Rest assured, we’ll keep you posted with any updates.

Hi @taka1,

We’ve received feedback from our developers regarding this issue. In the latest version of Widget Options, some of the display logic functions were removed due to vulnerability reports that might pose risks to users.

Based on the logic code you’re using, the function in_category is not currently included in the list of allowed functions. To review the functions that are permitted by default, you may check includes/extras.php and look for widgetopts_get_allowed_php_functions and widgetopts_get_allowed_wp_functions.

If you’d like to enable in_category, you will need to extend the allowed functions list by adding a filter. Please note that adding custom functions may introduce security risks, so we recommend proceeding with caution.

Here’s the code snippet you can add to your functions.php file (or another suitable location in your theme/plugin):

function add_extra_hooks( $allowed_functions ) {
$allowed_functions[] = 'in_category';
return $allowed_functions;
}
add_filter( 'widgetopts_allowed_php_functions', 'add_extra_hooks' );

This should allow the in_category function to work again on your site. Please feel free to modify the code based on your current setup.

Thanks and let us know if this works on your end.

Kind Regards,

Hi @taka1,

Thanks for the update! We’re glad to hear that the issue is now resolved on your website. Please note that these filters are required for your conditional logic to work as expected. We recommend checking your functions.php file after theme updates to ensure the filters are not overwritten.

If you run into any other issues or have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help!
