IDs and multiple instances of widget

First of all, I think you’re a friggin’ genius! A friend recommended your plugin yesterday and already, I can think of about a hundred usages. And, you’re a girl – there’s not that many of us in technology, that’s awesome, too! Thank you so much for having the brains to come up with the answer for so many premium templates that do not have short codes, forcing us to put everything in sidebars.

I have installed a plugin that will allow me to create multiple instances to follow any number of Twitter timelines. We’re going to create an instance per National Football League team so we can display all 32 teams.

Here’s the first example:

I read up on how to deploy the widget shortcode by ID#, but it just doesn’t seem to be working for me.

Here’s the second instance I deployed:

I appreciate any help you can provide!

Thanks for the compliments – frustration is the mother of invention sometimes.

to find id’s, force a ‘debug’ to happen, guess an id

…
3. If it fails, it will offer a debug prompt to logged-in admin, click on the debug prompt and look for the id of your widget, use that.
4. To force a debug anyway without waiting for an error, then be logged in as admin and on the page where you have a {do_widget something] shortcode, add ?do_widget_debug=1 to the url , hit enter and look for the list of widget ids that are in the widgets_for_shortcode sidebar.
…

OR USE ‘inspect element’ (chrome or firebug) on the widget in another sidebar before you drag it into the ‘widgets_for_shortcode’ sidebar.

Doing that on your pages, I can see that:
arizona: anyusertwitterfeed-2
florida state: anyusertwitterfeed-6

By the way are you using latest (2.2) and is your plugins.php okay? – another poster just before yours has a weird thing happening.

Umm it does work for most people ?

Anyone else with a similar post – please start a new post. Do not add to this one. And if you really do want help, then you need to add some details. Saying ‘it does not work’ is worthless.
