I had been using widget context plugin to limit which pages/post widgets appeared on. liked having yours as part of the template. one issue though. I have a plugin called events pro that is our calendar. There is an option to have our main calendar show on the front page. I have that set. But it isn't an actual page. So when I set the rule to be shown only on homepage it doesn't work. It doesn't show on our homepage.
I have widgets disabled on homepage so that this page will show. I go to settings/reading and select main event page as the home page to show. But if you go to pages, there isn't a page for this.
With widget context it works but not with yours. how do i get things to show only on homepage?
