In this step by step article, we’ll walk you through the process of configuring page rules to manage widget visibility effectively.

Page rules

To open page rules, start by selecting a widget and head over to the "Display Rules" tab. By default, the widget will appear anywhere where you add the code in Shopify.

If you wish to add rules for the widget to appear on specific pages, please select: "Advanced URL rules".

Define your rules using OR and AND conditions.

• OR Conditions: An OR condition allows a widget to appear if at least one of multiple criteria is met. This means that even if only one of the specified conditions is true, the widget will be displayed.

  • Example:
    • Display the widget on either the homepage OR any blog post.
    • Rule: Show widget if URL is /home OR if URL contains /blog/.

• AND Conditions: An AND condition requires that all specified criteria must be met for the widget to be displayed. This means that every condition you set must be true simultaneously for the widget to appear.

  • Example:
    • Display the widget only on collection pages AND on the homepage.
    • Rule: Show widget if URL contains /collection/ AND URL is /home.

Set pages where to display or hide this widget

Click "Add rule" to set specific pages where you want to display or hide the widget.

By default, Videowise will add a rule to display the widget on "All website pages".

Here’s an explanation of each rule:

1. URL equals to (enter text or URL):

   • This rule will display or hide the widget only if the URL exactly matches the specified text or URL. Use this when you want the widget to appear on a specific page.
   • Example: Show the widget if URL equals https://www.example.com/home.

2. URL not equals to (enter text or URL):

   • This rule will display or hide the widget on all pages except the ones with URLs exactly matching the specified text or URL. Use this to exclude the widget from specific pages.
   • Example: Hide the widget if URL equals https://www.example.com/contact.

3. URL - All website pages (enter text or URL):

   • This rule applies to all pages of your website. Use this when you want the widget to be displayed or hidden across the entire site.
   • Example: Show the widget on all website pages regardless of the URL.

4. URL includes (enter text or URL):

   • This rule will display or hide the widget if the URL contains the specified text or segment of a URL. Use this for broader targeting across multiple pages that share a common URL pattern.
   • Example: Show the widget if URL includes /blog/.

5. URL does not include (enter text or URL):

   • This rule will display or hide the widget on all pages except those whose URLs contain the specified text or segment. Use this to exclude the widget from sections of your site.
   • Example: Hide the widget if URL includes /products/.
