Hello and happy new year!
The recent upgrade disabled the Text & Html widget editing for me.
Up until yesterday everything worked fine.
Any ideas on what I could check?
[Plugin: Front-end Editor] Problem with text widgets (24 posts)

So you're not able to edit text widgets using Front-end Editor 1.6?
Can you give me the URL of your site?

I verified that with the previously installed version it works as fine as ever; pulled it out of a recent backup.
Installing the 1.6 has definately caused the error as far as I can figure out. -
Well, I can't help you unless I have more information.
You'll just have to use the older version of the plugin.

Can you paste the code used to register the sidebar? It's usually located in functions.php in your theme's folder and looks something like this:
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) { register_sidebar(array( 'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</li>', 'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">', 'after_title' => '</h2>', )); } -

Ah... now I see the problem:
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="sidebaritem %2$s"><divThe plugin searches for the 'widget' class, but you have 'sidebaritem' instead.
Try changing that line to this:
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget sidebaritem %2$s"><div -

On a sidenote, does having two classes, or rather a different classname, interact in any other way with the blog/theme?
Just curious, is all... -
The widgets might get some extra styles applied to them from the extra class, but besides that, no.

I've just updated Front-end editor and I've the same problem.
It's impossible now to change text widget.I changed class to "widget sidebaritem %2$s" in my function.php page but no results.
Thanks to help me :)

tomagladiator, what version of WP are you running?
Can you spare the site URL, or are you paranoid too? :)

But I'm paranoid too ^^I use actually WordPress 2.8.4

Posted 2 years ago #Thanks you Scribu :) I appreciate your help

The markup looks alright. It should be working.
Btw, wouldn't a single text widget be easier to work with, instead of having 10?
-
Posted 2 years ago #:(
No, because its a "fisherman" (he don't known nothing about web) would be change them and if I use juste one, I need to insert some balise like</br><p>And my client could be delete them by mistake :/Yeah, the markup works but when I double-click ... nothing.
I've persuaded the fisherman to use Google Chrome OH YEAH!
So if I install-back the version 1.5 it's will be great.Where can I download this old version please ?
Thanks you and sorry for my english again :/
-
On the plugin page, just below the download button, you'll see an "Other Versions" link.

That's work now :)Bonne journée

Posted 2 years ago #Hi again!
I've run into a new problem:
It seems that the front-end editor is messing with the html code in my text widget.For example, editing the widget and pressing apply (with or without changes being made), produces this for links:
<a href=\"url\">The \ inserted appear only after editing with f-e.e., changing the text through the dashboard works fine.
Scribu to the rescue? :P
-
The issue with backslashes should be fixed in version 1.6.1. ;-)

Posted 2 years ago #Indeed! Cheers for the quick update! :)

Posted 2 years ago #I've run into yet another issue:
Editing a text-widget opens up a veeery small textbox to show the text, around 2 lines. It's quite hard to edit using that, plus this was introduced with the recent updates; it wasn't like this before.
Actually, trying that again for another time, a quite large textbox appeared, but with no slider to scroll to the bottom. :/ -
It's caused by the autogrow script. It was buggy from the beginning.
It will be removed in the next version of the plugin.
Update: You can try the latest dev version (1.7a).
