    Yep, that was the problem. I’ve found another variation of code that does what I need it to do and doesn’t interfere with WL.

    Yay!

    Thanks again, Alanft 🙂

    I have just tried it locally on my computer with the basic wp default theme and it was doing the same thing.

    Then I tried it without the coding in the php widget (just text) and it worked properly, so it seems the code within the php widget is affecting it. Grrr 😐

    Thanks for your help (and patience!). I’ll have a play around with the coding and see if I can fix it.

    Hi Alanft

    Further to my last post –

    I’ve played around with it a little more and it appears that the php widget only interferes with Widget Logic if the php widget is placed ahead of the other widgets.

    If I place the php widget underneath the other widgets, all widgets above it respond to WL.

    But if the php widget is above the other widgets and has widget logic coding in it, the other widgets underneath it respond to widget logic, if they have the same WL coding as the php widget.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Unfortunately, there aren’t any steps I can offer to repeat the problem. It’s as simple as when the php widget is there, Widget Logic doesn’t work and when it’s not there, it does.

    I have wp 3.0.1, otherwise the rest is the same. I’m using a theme created with Artisteer.

    Thanks.

    I have just tried Chris Petitt’s Samsarin PHP Widget and I still can’t get the coding in Widget Logic to work.

    Alanft, have you had a chance to check it out?

    Also, the box for Widget Logic doesn’t show up on the Samsarin PHP Widget, so I would really like to stick with PHP Widget.

    I really hope we can get the two working together 🙂 Your help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    I haven’t had any resolve as yet. I’m using the PHP Widget by Otto. I might give Chris Pettitt’s a go and see if makes any difference.

    They’re both great plugins. I hope we can get them to work together soon 🙂

    Thanks, alanft, for your prompt response.

    I’ve just read through the previous forum post. I’ve had the widget disappear from the dashboard within WordPress but it stayed on the site. I dragged it back over and so far so good. But that wasn’t my main concern….

    I am using the php widget to bring up recent posts. I know there is already a widget for this but I want to have them appearing on a post-it note.

    My only problem is that the widget logic coding is no longer helping to control where the widgets appear. They all just show up on every page, uninvited.

    They’re both great resources and I would love to be able to use both. I’m really hoping I don’t have to resort to the boring Recent Posts widget 🙂

    Thanks

    Just further to this section of the post –

    ‘In this case, if you didn’t require a link to your post, you could replace “><?php the_title(); ?> with just <? php the_title(); ?>

    This might clarify it a little better –

    In this case, if you didn’t require a link to your post, you could replace –

    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
    <?php the_title(); ?></a>

    with just <? php the_title(); ?>

    If you would like to add the lines between each post, just add the following code between the excerpt ‘<?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?>’ and the end of the loop ‘<?php endwhile;?>’

    <p>
    <div style="border-bottom:1px dotted #eeffee; margin-bottom:10px; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; clear:both;"></div>

    Again, you can change the color and size to meet your own requirements.
