    All of a sudden, the Widget area in the admin section is no longer working. Through process of elimination, I narrowed it down to a conflict with the Cooked plugin. When I deactivate the plugin, the widgets come back. But when I activate it again, the widgets disappear. Any ideas?

    Ok, I think I found the line that seems to be causing the issue. It’s in cooked/cooked.php on line #85. Once I removed the following, my widgets came back:

    require_once(sprintf("%s/admin/widgets.php", CP_PLUGIN_DIR));

    Will removing this line hurt anything?

    UPDATE:

    Thanks to the support desk at Boxy Studio, we pinpointed the issue to one of the Cooked widgets requiring more memory than our servers allowed. Due to there being over 4,000 recipes in the database, it was needing more resources to load the Widget page. I increased the memory limit on the server and all seems to be well again.

    @boxystudio I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please never ask for credentials on these forums.

    Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.

    If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided without warranty.
