    Does anyone know of a widget that I can use to allow me to choose which pages my sidebar images are displayed on. I have an advertiser that only wants their ad to show on the home page but the widget I usually use, Dynamic Widgets, doesn't seem to be working anymore.

    Thanks very much

    well you can hard code the sidebar.php, you can use the is_page() , is_home() or is_front_page() =))

    A commercial ad management software that can do this type of placement and many more advanced placements is WP Traffic Tools. If you do a lot of Wordpress sites for clients then this would be a large benefit to have.

    Here's an example of it's ad management scope:

    for a single solution, the plugin exec-php plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/) and the use of php (as Yuuko mentions) in a text widget might would be an easy solution too.

    
<?php

if (is_home())
{
    echo "<ad html here>";
}

?>
    Code (markup):
