It will work on the homepage, 404 and search, but not on pages or categories. It uncheck them if I try to use those. Any ideas?

No matter how many times I click on the check box to display it only on a few pages like my text widgets, it keeps showing up on all pages no matter what I do. I am using WP 3.4.1 and a child theme of Twenty Eleven. As I said, it works great for text widgets but not for Recent Posts.

It was much easier than messing with a plug in that didn’t work. * [nharb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nharb/) * (@nharb) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widgets-controller-not-working/#post-2960911) * Can you direct me to where I begin to create a custom sidebar?

There was no indication of an update on the plugins page of my website, so I downloaded this plugin again, and it’s still not working. I really appreciate your time on this! * [mrswalterdeuce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrswalterdeuce/) * (@mrswalterdeuce) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widgets-controller-not-working/#post-2960980) * I have installed this plugin and it worked great at first. Now, when I click on widget controller in my sidebar on one of the widgets, I do not get the pages to exclude from. Please let me know what I can do to fix this.
