Today’s Daily Plugin is another WordPress plugin that tweaks how the widgets system works. It’s called Widget Logic, and it might just save you the trouble of creating extra sidebar areas.
The video is embedded at the top of this post’s page, with more about the plugin below.
Widget Logic
Widget Logic allows you to specify which templates, using WordPress’ conditional tags, a sidebar widget will show up on. Instead of creating a new sidebar area for a few slightly tweaked templates here and there, using Widget Logic widgets can be loaded conditionally based on the template you’re viewing.
Do you use Widget Logic to improve the flexibility of your own sidebar system? What methods do you use to wrangle your sidebars to your will?
Video recorded with version 0.48 of Widget Logic, running WordPress 3.1.3.
About the plugin author
The developer, alanft, has developed a few other plugins in the WordPress.org directory too.
Is your plugin worthy?
If you would like to see your plugin featured on an episode of The Daily Plugin, send your plugin information over to dailyplugin@wpcandy.com. We’ll see you tomorrow for another Daily Plugin!

Ron Paul, a 2012 Republican presidential candidate in the United States, is running his campaign website with WordPress. CanDo, of Newport, Kentucky, is listed in the footer as the developer.
The site utilizes a very active blog, a store, and an events calendar. A number of popular plugins are utilized:
- WP E-Commerce
- Yoast SEO
- Yoast Google Analytics
- W3 Total Cache
- Mailchimp
- The Events Calendar
- WP Audio MP3 Player
- ShareThis
Paul is well known as a stalwart of libertarian ideals and a thorn in the sides of mainstream presidential candidates. Of course, Dr. Paul isn’t the only person in politics that loves WordPress. In fact, we’ve got an entire series dedicated to them.

A new form building plugin has launched this month called NinjaForms. The developers have come out swinging (or karate chopping?) on the plugin’s website, positioning the plugin against competitors like Gravity Forms by pricing itself at just $15. NinjaForms appears to include everything you’d expect in a form builder, but what caught my eye was that it models its form building screen off the WordPress menu editor, which I found neat.
The plugin comes from the folks behind WP Ninjas, who themselves have a handful of plugins and a theme on WordPress.org as well.
Be sure to check out their intro video after the jump to get a feel for what this new plugin offers.

Are you interested in trying out a new form builder plugin like NinjaForms for only $15? Is there still room to innovate and compete in the WordPress form plugin space?
