 * I added a text widget that I only wanted to appear for material in the subcategory
   NARS which is category 8. I put the following into the Widget logic box:
 * is_category(‘NARS’) || (is_single() && in_category(‘NARS’)
 * The widget only appeared on the home page (although the other displays were being
   handled by the ‘The Event Calendar’ plugin.
 * Thinking it was a theme problem I clicked to preview the site in the default 
   theme and saw this where the widget would go:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/
   bmwra.org/httpdocs/wp/wp-content/plugins/widget-logic/widget_logic.php(161) :
   eval()’d code on line 1
 * Any ideas what is wrong?

 * assuming you’ve copied and pasted your code above, there is a ) missing off the
   end.

 * D’oh!! So simple.
 * There’s definitely something funny still going on with refresh, though. I edited
   it, fixed the error, then when I went back to edit the widget text the old widget_logic
   value got saved again. Hitting refresh at the right moment fixes it but it’s 
   certainly not doing exactly what one would expect.
 * But, it’s working!

 * In my defense, I simply copied that string from the bottom of the FAQ and edited
   the values. So you might edit that FAQ.

 * let me check on this – my install is subtly different…

 * i’m definitely not seeing that the way i change stuff and save. if you can replicate
   this and give me click by click directions, i’ll see what i can find.
