    I have a very strange issue. I am working on a site for a client that was built with the Gantry Framework. I did not build the site.

    The site has a PHP countdown timer in the sidebar that is run using PHP Code Widget. I need to modify the code but I cannot find the PHP Code Widget being used in the widget area. I see the widget, but I do not find it assigned to a widget area. I have checked every widget area. I also checked the sidebar code for the theme to see if it was embedded in there. Nada.

    The output in the browser code is surrounded with HTML code indicating that this widget is being used.

    <div class="execphpwidget">

    Shouldn’t the PHP code show up in a widget area on the WP widget admin page?

    Where else could the developer have hidden the code?

    If it does not show up in a widget area, where do I find it to modify the PHP code?

    No way to tell how people use the darned thing.

    Check the template, maybe he just copy-pasted some HTML in there directly.

    Most authors do not call their creations “damned things”. 🙂

    The browser code is wrapped in the div tags associated with the plugin, so the PHP code has to be used with the plugin somewhere.

    Is there any other way to enter PHP code other than in the admin widget area?

    Is there a configuration page where it can be entered?

    No, there is no other way to enter PHP code than in the widget itself.

    I know this probably no longer matters. I installed the plugin, but for some reason couldn’t find the widget. I disabled the plugin, uninstalled it, and re-installed it and it showed up. Don’t know why that worked, but it might be helpful to you!
