 * Is this the right place to complain about a plugin which is in the plugin directory?
   I installed the free version of total widget control, but that is very limited.
   It seems even to limit the original wordpress functionality. I can only put text
   into the widgets now. Almost all the features described are not available in 
   the free version. Even the paid professional version ist not ad free?!?

 * The only reason why you would think this, is if you didn’t understand how to 
   use it. Not to offend you, sorry if I did.
 * The difference between TWC and CORE is that core allows you a one to one relationship,
   vs TWC relationship system.
 * To explain through examples: CORE allows you to drag a single widget instance
   to a single sidebar. TWC allows you to not only assign a single widget to a single
   sidebar, but it then allows you to decide which pages that you would like that
   widget instance to either display on, or hide on.
 * Meaning that with TWC you now have control over which widgets display on which
   pages. Have a look at the edit page, see here that you can check off which pages
   that you want this calendar to be viewable on, on all other pages this calendar
   will be hidden. [http://screencast.com/t/PWc3qC1tlpdq](http://screencast.com/t/PWc3qC1tlpdq)
 * See that I can also choose to have a widget display to only a specific category
   page, or to all posts within that category.
 * I hope this helps.
