After months of development, we are very excited to announce the Extended Widget Options version 4.0! This is the biggest plugin release so far with lots of features added and revamp settings page based on iThemes Security Plugin settings, which I fell in love with at first sight because of its user-friendliness.
To make your WordPress widget restriction and management better, version 4.0 includes major enhancements and features below.
WordPress Widget Animation
Add entrance animations to your WordPress widgets easily using this brand new feature. Make it more modern by making each widget animate when they enter the screen when user scrolls the page. Control the animation speed, offset, and delay to make them more eye-pleasing to your readers.

Disable Widgets
Disable widgets that you don’t want to be displayed on widget dashboard area. Time to clean up those unnecessary and unused widget of yours!
Child Pages to Inherit Parent Widget Visibility
Requested by few customers, totally a time-saver if you want the child pages to inherit the parent’s widget visibility, so you won’t need to check them on the visibility widget options.
Page Builder by SiteOrigin Compatible
You can now use this plugin side by side with SO Pagebuilder for you to control and manage your widgets even more. From visibility restriction to styling and animations, you can use them all on your SiteOrigin widgets! The only options removed are the custom id because we don’t want to create conflicts and pages visibility because you’re using it on page builder and this option is useless. Others will work perfectly and integrated carefully. Happy page building!

Brand New Modular Settings Page
I’ve already mentioned that this was based on iThemes Security Plugin. You can now enable and disable any feature you want. If any of them will be useless on your site, easily removed it by clicking a button and it will automatically be removed on your widgets and at any instance on the front-end. Lots of settings and enhancements have been added for you to fully control each option.
