But sometimes, we do want to show some widgets only on Homepage or only for the individual posts pages, or only in a specific page, the coding is quite simple, but you need to customize the widget through the "Edit HTML" link in your "Layout" section.
Follow these steps:
Create any widget, and place it where-ever you want, and save the template. Check if it is working (should be displayed in all the pages). Remember to give a TITLE to it, like Archives/BlogRoll/Maps/Clock, anything unique.
Now go to "Edit HTML" page.
Click/mark "Expand Widget Templates"
Then find for that unique Title (by searching through CTRL+F method)
It will be something like this:
<b:widget id='HTML3' locked='false' title='UNIQUE WORD OR TITLE HERE' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
Now tweak this as follows
CASE #1
To SHOW the code/widget only in HomePage
<b:widget id='HTML3' locked='false' title='UNIQUE WORD OR TITLE HERE' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'><!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if></b:includable>
</b:widget>
CASE #2
To SHOW the widget in "All Posts", but NOT in HomePage
<b:widget id='HTML3' locked='false' title='UNIQUE WORD OR TITLE HERE' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'><!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if></b:includable>
</b:widget>
CASE #3
To SHOW the widget in any particular page
Add those code lines in red color, as per your requirement.
<b:widget id='HTML3' locked='false' title='UNIQUE WORD OR TITLE HERE' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "SPECIFIC_BLOG_POST_URL"'><!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if></b:includable>
</b:widget>
CASE #4
To HIDE a widget ONLY in a particular page/post, and to display it in all other pages of your blog, use this code (shown below is only the code in RED from the previous code):
...
...
<b:if cond='data:blog.url != "SPECIFIC_BLOG_POST_URL"'>...
...
...
</b:if>...
...
CASE #5
To SHOW widgets only in Archive Pages
...
...
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "archive"'>...
...
...
</b:if>...
...
CASE #5
To SHOW widgets only in Static Pages
...
...
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'>...
...
...
</b:if>...
...
CASE #6
To HIDE widgets in Static Pages
...
...
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>...
...
...
</b:if>...
...
