 * 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!
