It’s a lightweight yet powerful tool that gives you full control over how and when widgets are displayed. TWIM adds a simple interface below each widget for defining visibility rules. This provides site editors with a much smarter and more flexible way to manage widget visibility. #### Available show/hide conditions The power of TWIM lies in the variety of logic conditions it supports: – Show/hide on specific _page(s)_ – Show/hide on specific _post type(s)_ (custom or built-in)– Show/hide on _archive_ pages (category, tag, author, date) – Show/hide by _user_ status (logged-in, logged-out, user roles) – Show/hide on _device_ type (mobile, tablet, desktop) #### Global AND/OR setting for conditions For each widget, you can also define whether _all_ conditions must be true or if _only one_ is enough. Since each group of condtions has its own show/hide setting, combinations are nearly endless. #### Active conditions indicator When setting visibility conditions for each of your widgets, it can soon become difficult to understand which conditions have been set. TWIM provides a useful active condition indicator in the form of “eye” icons allowing you to check in a glance which conditions have been activated for a given plugin (see screenshots). #### Widget Class A dedicated input field allows you to add _custom CSS classes_ to your widgets—no need for an additional plugin just for styling. #### Settings The settings page currently offers two options: – Restore the classic widget management screen (instead of the block-based “Widgets” editor — see _Limitations_ below). – Choose the TWIM color theme for the admin interface. #### Limitations TWIM does not currently support the new block-based widget editor introduced in recent WordPress versions. If you want to use TWIM, you must switch to the _legacy widget interface_ (this can be done from the plugin’s settings). ### Development You can contribute to this plugin or follow development on GitHub: 🔗 https://github. com/wpolstudio/tiny-widget-manager ## Screenshots * [[ * Condition selector showing pages (default blue color theme) * [[ * Condition selector showing single post type (gray color theme) * [[ * Condition selector showing archive pages (orange color theme) * [[ * Condition selector showing user roles (lime color theme) * [[ * Condition selector showing device types * [[ * Global logic selector * [[ * Active condition(s) indicator * [[ * Custom CSS class(es) input * [[ * TWIM settings page ## Installation 1.

No. Tiny Widget Manager currently supports classic widget-based themes only. ### Does it support custom post types and taxonomies? Yes, visibility rules can be applied to any registered post type or archive. ### Can I add custom CSS classes to widgets? Yes! A built-in input lets you apply your own classes—no third-party plugin needed. ### Will it slow down my site? No. The plugin is lightweight and adds minimal overhead. Visibility logic is evaluated server-side only when necessary. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b465ae2e2f311147fba74c24b83bedfdf67247458e484405d4ecc7a51b1d640e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Adopted](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adopted/)󠁿 [Bob333](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bob333/) August 2, 2025 Well thinking & Thank you for offering all this for free, especially when some sell it. 🙌💖” [ Read all 1 review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tiny-widget-manager/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Tiny Widget Manager” is open source software.
