The Widget Visibility feature allows you to control where widgets are shown and hidden.
How to activate visibility
To enable this feature, go to Jetpack → Settings → Writing, scroll down to the Widgets section, and toggle the switch labeled Enable widget visibility controls to display widgets only on particular posts or pages.
To change Widget Visibility rules, go to Appearance → Widgets, select the top level block of any widget you want to adjust visibility for and then add or edit Widget Visibility rules under Settings → Advanced.
Visibility is controlled by five aspects: page type, category, tag, date, and author.
For example, if you wanted the Archive widget to only appear on category archives and error pages, choose “Show” from the first dropdown and then add two rules: “Page is 404 Error Page” and “Category is All Category Pages.”
You can also hide widgets based on the current page. For example, if you don’t want the Archives widget to appear on search results pages, choose “Hide” and “Page is Search Results.”
Note: Each visibility rule is handled separately.
There isn’t a way, for example, to only display a widget on posts categorized as “Summer” and tagged with “Picnic.”
