I deleted one instance of the widget and ended up with all instances being deleted at the same time. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279885#post-1118084 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 23:32:02 +0000 jimatwood 1118084@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Indeed, I'd like to know if the latest downloaded plugin has been updated with this fix. Thanks! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279885#post-1117172 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 08:39:46 +0000 Ovidiu 1117172@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>so version 1.2 is the one that works now with 2.8 and multiple instances? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279885#post-1104816 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:45:18 +0000 papascott 1104816@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@Otto42 Thanks, the fix works for me. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279885#post-1104743 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:12:30 +0000 Otto42 1104743@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Andrew Ozz sent me a fix for it today, which I've put in. I didn't want to go the full widget class route with it yet in order to maintain backwards compatibility, for now.</p> <p>Eventually I'll change it to be 2.8-up only. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279885#post-1103002 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 10:18:27 +0000 papascott 1103002@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Ignore my previous comment... previous instances _do_ disappear even with no other plugins activated with the default theme when a new instance is saved.</p> <p>However, since the plugin is a basically a one-line change to the default text widget, it shouldn't be too hard to create a version to work with 2.8. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279885#post-1102970 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 09:16:22 +0000 papascott 1102970@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I've started testing with a copy of my setup... with all other plugins deactivated, multiple instances of the PHP Code Widget work as expected, both with the default theme and Thesis 1.5.1. </p> <p>When I reactivate all plugins, the problem recurs. So this seems to be a plugin conflict rather than a problem with PHP Code Widget itself. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279885#post-1102908 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 07:07:23 +0000 ShackDougall 1102908@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Yes, it's been noticed, but I don't know if the author is aware of it yet.</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278187" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278187</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279885#post-1102906 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 06:57:00 +0000 papascott 1102906@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Has anyone else noticed in 2.8 that saving a (either new or revised) instance of the PHP Code Widget will overwrite all other instances of the widget in the same sidebar?</p> <p>I suspect that the old multiple instance logic is not compatible with the new Widget API, and that the plugin needs be revised to use the WP_Widget class. </p>
