 * Hi,
 * When I tick either the categories/posts check boxes, only empty boxes appear 
   with no further lists to select from to filter the categories.
 * Any ideas why this might be?

 * this data comes from widgets_controller.php [widgets_controller_submit()] by 
   ajax/jquery.
    I think ajax functional is conflict with any other plugin. step
   by step deactive other plugin & check again.

 * I found the problem changed “wp_posts” to “$wpdb->posts” in lines 123, and 137.
   the bug only effect peoples who changed the table default prefix.

 * Hi thanks for trying to sort this out…however…
 * Although I can now see and select the list of categories from the “widgets controller”
   plugin, the “categories” widget doesn’t display anything on the actual webpage
   when I enable the plugin.
 * I have over 30 categories but only want to display 8 of them in a dropdown list…
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
    I have the same problem…not all of my pages show up in the menu. Only
   a few show and the rest show a bullet point with no page text. Any ideas? thx
