    Hello team, I am trying to hide a widget that shows on my page according to the author post. For example, if admin is the listing author, then I want to hide “x” sidebox widget. Can this be achieved? I thought I would ask for your help with this. Thank you.

    If this can’t be done, does the tags on the places use the wp conditional tags? I am trying to display certain widgets on certain pages only. For example, IF a place is tagged as a beach in the place tags, THEN I want “x” widget to show up. If NOT, it should be hidden…help? Please?

    Have a look at the “widget logic” plugin. That should do the trick I think.

    I have and have been trying to get it to work. But it doesn’t. I’ve tried with the tags and the wp conditinal tags don’t seem to pickup on the gd tags.

    Nothing I’ve tried is working, but I see there are other posts about using this plugin but the ones I’ve seen only pertain to the events or category. How do I use a condition to read the tags please? Thank you.

    Have you tried the wp function has_terms() with widget logic?

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/has_term

    For a place category:

    if ( has_term ( 'categroy-name', 'gd_placecategory' ) )

    For a place tag:

    if ( has_term ( 'tag-name', 'gd_place_tags' ) )

    Obivously you’ll have to change the taxonomy for other CPT.

    Let us know,

    I have but I don’t fully understand how it’s used. Would I put this into the widget logic conditionals?

    I would like “x” widget to show IF there is the “beach” tag attached to a listing. I don’t know how to achieve this and I’ve been working at it for hours. 🙁

    Hi,

    I just tested it here adding a text widget in the right sidebar down at the bottom, only if the listing has a tag skyscraper:

    Yes: http://wpgeo.directory/attractions/united-states/illinois/chicago/landmark/john-hancock-center/

    No: http://wpgeo.directory/attractions/united-states/illinois/chicago/landmark/crown-fountain/

    The logic is: 

    has_term ( 'skyscraper', 'gd_place_tags' )

    Change skyscraper to beach and gd_place_tags to whatever CPT you are using, if it ins’t places.

    Let me know if this helped.

    Thanks
