 * Hi there,
 * Today, I noticed that I couldn’t use your plugin on “Categories” Widget. Once
   activated, whenever I click on “Edit” it just deactivates again.
 * Is this normal? How can I prevent “Categories” Widget from appearing in certain
   sections of my blog?
 * Thanks in advance for your help!

 * not seeing this on the first blog i tried it on.
 * put in is_author(‘Alan’) and the categories widget only shows up on my author
   page
 * do you get the same behaviour on the ‘default’ theme?

 * Hi there,
 * I can’t even edit the Categories widget. Whenever I click on “edit” it automatically
   gets removed from the sidebar. Maybe I’m seeing a WordPress bug here? I’m on 
   2.6.2.

 * Yes it is indeed a WP bug (or at least a non-expected behavior). You can’t edit
   the Categories Widget right after you add it to your sidebar.
 * Unlike the rest of widgets, with Categories widget you need to save changes _first_,
   then once the Widgets page reloads you can go and edit it.
 * Weird, isn’t it?
 * Anyways, I have been able to apply php logic to this widget so I guess the problem
   is solved.
 * Cheers! Great plugin btw!
