In Wordpress, how can you use one widget to be displayed in a specific page?

In Wordpress, I would like to use one widget to put it on one sidebar, but not to be displayed in every webpage but in a specific template page. And also, to be editable! Thanks in advance

    ONLY if your site is hosted on your own webhost! i.e your using the wordpress.org download and your sites at www.yoursite.com, NOT hosting on wordpress.com (i.e. yoursite.wordpress.com).

    If so, Yes you can but you need to feel a little comfortable editing PHP or you'll need to download the widget logic plugin: (Recommended)

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/

    Each widget is different, but you'll need to go to that specific active widget, edit the code to show the instance you want. or use the the plugin which will give you the optin to change where your widgets are displayed. Here are your choices:

    Display only on the home page: is_home()

    Display only on individual posts: is_single()

    Display only on pages: is_page()

    Display on archive pages (category, tag, etc.): is_archive()

    Display on search results pages: is_search()

    Display on all pages except the home page: !is_home()

    Display on “this” or “that” page: is_page('this') || is_page('that')
