 * Hello,
 *  I have been following along and searching the forum for an answer to this queastion
   and have seen that some people are having a similiar problem.
 *  Here it is: My text widgets and phpexec widgets are no longer accepting input
   or for that matter I can’t erase what’s in them either….
 *  Now, I am wondering if it is a permission issue but I can’t seem to find just
   where my “text” is being stored from these tricky widgets…. I completely deleted
   and removed the widget plugin and all the other widget plugins and when I reinstalled
   them my old text came back!!!
 *  I removed my theme and changed to other themes as well and back came my text…
   can’t change it can’t erase it…
 *  Now I know I probably did add something between when it started and when I figured
   it out this was happening, after all it’s wordpress all we do is change things!
   I am wondering if it is a problem with the K2 Kubruick template and the widget
   plugin fighting each other or at least overinstalled something on each other.
   I know K2 has it’s own “side bar” management system but it doesn’t allow me to
   use the widgets I want. To make matters even more complicated, I even removed
   the K2 Template and switched to another one and I still get the PERMANENT Text
   problem. It’s like it’s cloaked in an invulnerability “cheat” or something…
 *  Any help? PLEASE!!!
 *  Joe

 * I’m having almost the same exact problem! I’m wondering; where the text inside
   the text widgets is stored? If we can find that then we can change or delete 
   what is in that text.

 * If you are at 2.2 and using Otto’s Executable PHP widget, widget then make sure
   you download the ‘fixed’ widget.php available in the comments section of Otto’s
   site.
