Hi,
I've seen you recommend Widget logic to remove woof filter from the sidebar on all single product pages, however on the Widget Logic page it states that
"PLEASE NOTE The widget logic you introduce is EVAL’d directly. Anyone who has access to edit widget appearance will have the right to add any code, including malicious and possibly destructive functions. There is an optional filter ‘widget_logic_eval_override’ which you can use to bypass the EVAL with your own code if needed."
This statement worries me and I have read that EVAL used on sites is not recommended as it leaves them prone to attacks or hacking.
I would like to ensure my site remains totally secure. Is Widget Logic safe to use or should I use another method?
Thanks for your advice.

Hello
Anyone who has access to edit widget appearance - In any case, if unauthorized users can visit your site, you have problems. And this plugin won't make you worse
I recommend this plugin because it is very simple and lightweight. But to be honest, it's already outdated. Better use it - https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-options/
