   I am using the "Sidebar Widgets" plugin and it works great. Except, I attempted to use the RSS option to display an RSS feed in the sidebar. What happens next is curious:

   I drag the RSS feed to the appropriate sidebar, click on the button to open the options and enter the RSS feed URL and select how many posts I want to display. After closing that window, I click on "Save Changes" and it disappears. In fact, if I have 5 RSS widgets selected, they too disappear from the display area below. I have to change that number to something else, hit save, and then they re-appear. Then I try the whole process again and they disappear again.

   So I can't display any feeds. I do not have this problem with the Text plugins. Only the RSS plugins in "Sidebar Widgets".

   Any ideas? Thanks!

   Btw, I have the following plugins installed:

   1. coComment Enhancer
   2. Feedburner Feed Replacement
   3. Google Sitemaps
   4. Google search widget
   5. Gregarious
   6. Sidebar widgets

   If that was needed.

   Make sure you have the latest version of the sidebar widgets plugin: http://automattic.com/code/widgets

   I do. The curious thing is that if I set up a new installation of WP on a subdomain, the RSS widget function works perfectly.

   It is only on my main site that it does not function.

   All the other options in Sidebar Widgets function properly. Can't figure it out for the life of me!

   Aha! I just noticed what the error might be. It might be occurring only with the theme "multiflex3". It worked on my test site with another theme, but when I uploaded multiflex3, it did not work. I'd imagine the copy of multiflex on my computer is not altered in any way, since it is just the extraction of the zip file.
