 * I have the standard sidebar with four widgets:
 * Search – always visible
    Text – SHOW only when NOT logged in Categories – SHOW
   only when logged in Tags – always visible
 * The text field doesn’t show at all, whether you are logged in or not.
 * The categories shows whether you are logged in or not, even though it should 
   only be visible when logged in.
 * The text field was showing yesterday, at some point, but I’m not sure what changed
   that made it disappear. At that same time, I believe the categories were only
   showing while logged in.
 * Any idea? A good starting point?
 * Thanks so much in advance.

 * Hey [@dscher18](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dscher18/),
 * Hope you’re well today.
 * I tried on my test site as you describe and checked your link. It’s working as
   should be on my test site and When I check your site it looks like correct for
   me;
 * All not logged in widgets seems like visible to me. So maybe it can be browser
   cache for your browser. Or if you are using any caching plugin maybe that cause
   this? Is it different then I see on your side?
 * Cheers,
    Oguz

 * I’m glad you included a screenshot showing that it is correctly showing…because
   I just saw the text in the email and had a hard time believing this was showing
   correctly.
 * I had to clear my browser cache to see this in action. Strangely enough, using
   a Private window did not work.
 * Thanks for confirming.
