 * I am working on a blog that has been running for a few years. Today I upgraded
   it to WP2.8 and decided to drop the old sidebar in favour of widgets.
 * I want to use this widget here: [http://is-here.com/projects/wordpress/pages/](http://is-here.com/projects/wordpress/pages/)
   and although it activates in plugins, it does not show up in the widgets dialogue.
 * Could anyone point me to where I could solve this problem or where else I could
   find a 2.8 compatible widget for custom page organisation.
 * Cheers

 * Not all plugins/widgets are currently compatible with WP 2.8. Could be that you
   struck out with this one. Does it specifically say that its 2.8 compatible?
