Use Widget Context to show or hide widgets on certain sections of your site — front page, posts, pages, archives, search, etc. Use targeting by URLs (with wildcard support) for maximum flexibility.
Block Context
New: We’ve started working on the Block Context plugin which brings similar functionality to Gutenberg blocks.

Target by URL
The “Target by URL” is a very powerful feature with a lot of flexibility for targeting sections of your website based on the request URLs. It was inspired by a similar feature in the Drupal CMS.
-
Use relative URLs such as page/sub-page instead of absolute URLs https://example.com/page/sub-page.
-
Relative are URLs more flexible and make the logic portable between different domains and server environments.
Wildcards
Use the wildcard symbol * for matching dynamic parts of the URL. For example:
-
topic/widgets/* to match all posts in the widgets category, if your permalink structure is set to /topic/%category%/%postname%.
-
page-slug/* to match all child pages of the page-slug parent page.
-
Use a trailing ?* to capture URL with all query arguments such as utm_source, etc. For example, for every blog/post-slug also include blog/post-slug?*.
