In reply to Arndt. Sorry for the late reply. Was/am sick with the flu. The plugin currently supports custom post types but it does not support custom taxonomies. I will add it onto my to-do list.

In reply to Arndt. i just figured out that the custom post taxonomies are taking the widget set you assigned to "is_front_page" regardless what you are choosing in the specific taxonomy edit area. Maybe that will help :-)

Hi, Ok I definetly checked it now and this seems to be not possible at the moment:

You can not assign shiba widget sets to custom post taxonomies (the option is available in the backend, but it is not working at all).

Would be awesome if someone would make that possible !!!
many thanks
Arndt

In reply to Arndt.

or maybe its possible to say:
all custom post taxonomies get the widget-set XYZ
the whole custom post type archive (e.g. domain/books/) gets the widget-set ABC
would be pefect to just set this in the options of shiba widget like

is_archive = widget-set-A
is_books(custom post archive)=widget-set-B

Hi, really awesome plugin !!! Many thanks.
It is also very good working with custom post types, like you described. But I have one problem / maybe a bug: If I select a shiba-widget-set for a new taxonomy, which was created together with a new custom post type, it is not working.
So e.g. for the cpt books, I have created a category called science. now I want to select a widget-set for the science category, but it is not working ( with the “normal” wp-category it is working fine). Do you have an idea, what could be the problem?
best regards Arndt

In reply to tom.

Widget areas are rendered by the theme.
1. We can use CSS to hide a widget area (display:none;)
2. Can modify theme to only render the widget area when there are widgets in it.

In reply to Thomas Will. Thanks for letting me know. I will add it onto my to-do fix list. I haven't updated the plugin for 3.4 yet. I plan to work on it next, after I finish updating my Media Library plugin.

Hello,

a short feedback: a great plugin you produced there, I love it!

There is a small issue (WP 3.4.1): the widget set change can NOT be applied to the posts page (the one under WP settings – Reading settings) in my case.
I use a static page as front page but have an extra posts page to be more specific.

It works on all other pages, posts, categories, archives, search etc.
As you said, I deactivated all other plugins, used the default theme but the error is still present.

Thank you SHIBA!
Thomas
