Title: Widget Requests Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Widget Requests * [mythusmage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mythusmage/) * (@mythusmage) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-requests/) * 1. A script widget. A widget one can use to install a script or scripts in a sidebar with widgets installed in it. This including scripts for plug-ins that use such. * 2. Alter the text widget option on the widget configuration page in Presentations so the admin can enter a number, instead of choosing from a list of number that could prove a bit too limited. (Believe me, somebody’s going to find a use for more than 9 text widgets.)

So if you are upping the possible number of items to, say, 20, then you’d put 21 here. * That’s all there is to it. It’s a trivially simple hack, really. * [headlessspider](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headlessspider/) * (@headlessspider) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-requests/#post-379012) * i’ve been looking for something link conditional widgets. this widget appears in the home, that widget appears in the home and the archive, and that widget appears only in a single post… * i think this would be done in the widgets.php itself… * [viper007bond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/viper007bond/) * (@viper007bond) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-requests/#post-379019) * Nah, you can do it without any plugin core editing. * Just take whatever widget you want to customize and only have it return data for the pages you want using the standard conditional tags. * It’ll be active on all pages, but it’ll only display something on the pages you want. * [headlessspider](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headlessspider/) * (@headlessspider) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-requests/#post-379021) * i get what you mean. what i see in my head is i want to have text3 display only on home page as well as the rss widget. i don’t want to have them display in the single pages or the archive pages. * but your suggestion is also interesting. when you said, “have it return data for the pages you want using the standard conditional tags” do you mean i can have php code inside which can conditionally display this or that depending on the page…? * hmmm… which means that there’s this widget (phpexec or execphp or something) that can have php code run in a text box…. * but what about the title of the widget? * [viper007bond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/viper007bond/) * (@viper007bond) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-requests/#post-379022) * You’d have to make a custom widget and at the beginning of the function, check to see if it’s a page you want or not. If not, stop there and don’t output anything. * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-requests/#post-379029) * You could do it with the ExecPHP widget, but yes, the Title is a problem. Short of making a custom widget, I’m not sure of any good way to do it. * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-requests/#post-379032) * Actually, you could use two ExecPHP widgets to do it. It’s a bit of an ugly hack though. * Put one PHP widget above the widget you want to be conditional, and another below it. The PHP in the top one will be: `if (!show_condition) { echo ""; }` * Basically it comments out the surrounded widget entirely if show_condition is false. So you have to check the conditions you want to show the widget both times by replacing show_condition, of course. * Not the best solution, admittedly, but it might work on some sites until somebody comes up with a better way. * [viper007bond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/viper007bond/) * (@viper007bond) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-requests/#post-379035) * Bah, I’ll just make a configurable conditional widget next week when I have some free time. 😛 * [headlessspider](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headlessspider/) * (@headlessspider) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-requests/#post-379036) * 8D. thanks! * i’ll try to look into the code and see how i can mess it up… Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Widget Requests’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [requests](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/requests/) * In: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) * 10 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [headlessspider](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headlessspider/) * Last activity: [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-requests/#post-379036) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
