 * The widgets in question are the Text, Video, Audio, and Audible. Ironically the
   same 4 that were highlighted in the update and having new features.
 * Compared the widgets.php files from both sites and they are the identical.

 * Have a few errors. Just did updates on DEV site and widgets working. Here is 
   the error report on the live site. Just wondering if I reintall 4.8 update if
   that might correct the problem. Here’s a screenshot.

 * Just Text in the text box. The widget sort of opens, enough to show the DELETE/
   CLOSE/SAVE but nothing else, no actual edit box opens like it’s supose to do.
   
   Not a cache problem, tried it on 4 different browsers and 2 computers and smart
   phone. This has to be a WP after 8.4 update problem. 8.4 has some new widget 
   things.

 * That however probably kills any settings etc.. you have with that plugin, wouldn’t
   it? That would of course work and I have done it but it would be a cool option
   if you could d/l it and the UPDATE asks the source, ie, WP or User Computer..

 * As of today I am getting “_Update Failed: Download failed. Not Found_” on all
   my plugins that need updated. It started when I got an error on BPS saying to
   run the Setup Wizards (which I did). Now I cannot get my plugins. To bad there
   isn’t a way to D/L the update, then tell the site where to find it on my computer
   and run the update. Currently the failed updates are for “Fast Secure reCAPTCHA”
   and “Flowplayer HTML5 for WordPress”

 * I know how to do that, but that requires extra steps for a very fluid category.
   The “specials” are added and removed as items are sold out. But the category 
   remains empty until a new item is categorized with “special”. This is why I would
   like it to hide itself when empty. This should be possible but I cannot for the
   life of me figure it out.

 * If you are trying to code HTML/CSS, it would probably be a good idea to get a
   good understanding of them.
 * There are lots of guides available, here is one for CSS:
    [http://www.htmldog.com/guides/css/beginner/](http://www.htmldog.com/guides/css/beginner/)
 * The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so
   your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides
   in case you haven’t made one before:

 * Then to edit this editor is fantastic. You can edit multiple files at the same
   time.
