Display arbitrary text or HTML on certain sections of your site. An improved version of the text widget with scope selection.

== Description ==

This plugin is basically a improved version of the built-in text widget. It allows you to display some arbitrary text or HTML on your site - but instead of showing it everywhere on your site, it allows you to limit it to certain section of your site. This allows you to display some section-specific content on your sidebar without touching the theme files or dynamic sidebars. Especially great for multiuser sites where you want to allow your users to customize their sites without giving out access to the theme editor.

Currently, you can choose to display the widget on any combinations of the following:

*   The front page
*   Author pages
*   Any/all posts
*   Any/all pages
*   Pages/posts with comments enabled
*   Pages/posts in certain categories, and (optionally) the corresponding archive pages
*   Pages/posts with certain tags, and (optionally) the corresponding archive pages
*   All date-based archive pages

**Please note: the admin interface requires JavaScript to display correctly.**
	
== Installation ==

Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

**What does "Display title" do?**

When it is checked, the title of the widget will be displayed before the widget's content, just like the regular text widget. When unchecked, it will hide the title when displaying the widget, which allows more flexibility when styling the widget.

**What exactly is the "front page"?**

Depending on your *Reading Settings*, this could be either your more recent blog posts or a static page of your choice. This is determined by the [is\_front\_page()][1] wordpress function.

**Can I use PHP code in the content?**

No.

**Can I use JavaScript in the content?**

See below.

**Is the HTML code filtered?**

It depends. Unless the user who edited the widget has the [unfiltered\_html][2] capabilities (this means Administrators and Editors on the default settings), all "non-safe" HTML elements will be stripped.

**How do I style the widget?**

If you have access to the theme CSS files, you can give the content of the widget an id or a class, and then style it from there. Otherwise, you can always use inline CSS styling.

**Does it work on 2.7?**

The version we hosted on wordpress.org requires 2.8+ to run. If you absolutely need to run it
