 * Hello scribu,
 * just wanted to let you know that I’m testing the last developement version (1.8a4)
   but now the plugin doesn’t allow to “edit”… If i double-click an area the editor
   comes up, but with a BLANK editable area, so no editing is possible at all! I’ve
   tried with both Firefox and Chrome.
 * BTW i love the pop-up and the new buttons to save or cancel action.
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * …I forgot to tell you that it only happens in **text widgets**… it seems that
   the articles content get edited well!

 * Ops! we wrote at the same time… 🙂
 * It happens with text widgets and yes, I’m logged in as admin.

 * It was a javascript error. Should be fixed now. Dev version is 1.8a5.
 * Thanks for testing.

 * Where do you get the developer version? The plugin isn’t outputting anything 
   in my WP 3.0 beta 1 and I do have wp_footer(); called.

 * The development version can usually be found here:
 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-end-editor/download/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-end-editor/download/)
 * (it’s currently identical to the stable version: 1.8)

 * Thanks. Well, could be you’re waiting for 3.0 final but it’s not working with
   3.0 beta 1 and the 2010 standard theme. Out of the box at least 🙂
 * Let me know if I can help bug-test it in some way.

 * Well, that’s my main testing environment, and it’s working. 😛
 * So you don’t see the tooltips or the yellow hover? Check the settings.

 * It’s not even loading the plugin, can’t see anything fee related in the source-
   code at all. So I’m guessing it’s something with my install. Any way I can check
   whether wp_footer(); is working properly?

 * Add this in functions.php:
 *     ```
       function testing() {
         echo 'wp_footer() is working';
       }
       add_action('wp_footer', 'testing');
       ```
   
 * …but I don’t think it’s that. Try disabling all other plugins (if you have any).
