Disable widgets on specific posts

1. I’d recommend the plugin Widget Logic to handle all your needs. You can just add logical tags to the individual widgets on the sidebar.

2. You can filter sidebars_widgets and remove the widget you don’t need.

   Example with a search widget; uncomment the debug code to find the correct identifier.

   if ( ! is_admin() )
       add_filter( 'sidebars_widgets', 'remove_specific_widget' );
   
   function remove_specific_widget( $widgets )
   {
       if ( ! is_single( 402 ) ) // Post ID, title, slug, or array of such
           return $widgets;
   
       if ( ( $key = array_search( 'search-3', $widgets['primary-widget-area'] ) ) !== FALSE ) {
           unset( $widgets['primary-widget-area'][ $key ] );
       }
   
       // use this to inspect the current widget parameters
       //print '<pre>$widgets = ' . htmlspecialchars( var_export( $widgets, TRUE ), ENT_QUOTES, 'utf-8', FALSE ) . '</pre>';
   
       return $widgets;
   }

3. I’d recommend Widget Manager Light or Display Widgets plugin for this. It’s easier than using conditional tags or any code. You can see details on here.

   Widget Manager Light let’s you chose which widget to show on which post easily.

   Thanks
