I'm typing now after much testing using over 4 x 3rd party plug in's to give me the respective widgets appearing on respective pages.
Whether i select "show by default" on the PRIMARY and SECONDARY sidebars or not while using any conditional logic code (via plug-in), i still get nothing. If i'm lucky i'll get the default wordpress sidebar output widgets which is no use.
I then threw all the plug ins out, deleted and thought ok....i'll use the pagelines UNIVERSAL and TIERTIARY sidebars to show what i need (even though this does not give much scope for the future doing it this way). So i went through the process of disabling the default view of each sidebar and then activating on only my shop page. Again.......NOTHING SHOWS!!
I've also tried setting the shop page with the different default pagelines page templates to check that there were no issues with the one i was testing on. Same outcome. No widgets.
Mega frustrated monkey, any help greatly appreciated
