Text widget only on store frontpage

[Joepiooo]

Hello,

I have a text widget from wordpress on my sidebar...

I have Widget Context plugin installed but how can I only show the text widget on my store homepage and not on the other pages?

Set the widget to only appear on store.

Hi Eric,

I would like to have a static page for my homepage which is full width but when I change this, the whole store is full width.
If it is not possible to have a full width frontpage and a sidebar in the store can I at least have a frontpage with no widgets in the sidebar.
I have installed Widget Context and tried a lot and also the Show on selected: store.

Whatever I try, it will show the sidebar and widgets on all pages or just none of them.

I also tried Dynamic widgets but this gives the same result.

Hi,

Those plugins aren't going to help you. You want to change the template based on the store page not change the widgets that display on a particular page.

You'll need to edit your Wordpress Page template (this varies from theme to theme) and add a PHP if() conditional that sets whether to show the sidebar or not.

<?php if(!is_dfr('home')) : ?>
	<!-- This is not the store's front page so,
		 put the sidebar code here -->
<?php endif; ?>

Here's more code for your reference:

is_dfr() - Returns true if we're on a datafeedr page
is_dfr('home') - Returns true if we're on the home page
is_dfr('category') - Returns true if we're on a category page
is_dfr('product') - Returns true if we're on a product details page

However, given the way some themes are coded, what you want to do might not be possible or very difficult to accomplish.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your reply.
This doesn't work so now I know this might not be possible with this theme.
I have to go on with the sidebar on the frontpage.....
