Remove used widgets

It’s a wordpress thing (nothing my plugin is doing), and essential to identify different instances (and thus allow multiple instances) and no I don’t know how to force a reset of the widget setup – except maybe swop themes and swop back again ?

Try reusing the widget instance instead of removing and adding another of same type.

Try not worrying about the id and just use the name
[do_widget “widget name”]
If there is only one in the shortcode aidebar, then that’s the one it will use.

Else just update the shortcode if you change the widget. Why would you be dependent on the id’s starting with ‘1’ anyway ?

Hi anmari

First of all, thanks for your reply and for this plugin

I’m depending on the id’s because I use the same Gallery Widget (in the widget, I put ids of photos) a loooot of times, to put it in different posts. And the same it’s the same for all.
I’m using:

[do_widget id="blabla-1"]
[do_widget id="blabla-2"]

I’m going to try show the ID on the Widget for Shortcode menu… Because it is confusing to recognize what widget corresponds to each ID

Hi,
that seems like a convoluted way to get galleries on pages – to use a widget to get a gallery on a page?

Usually gallery plugins have shortcode options already (not just widget options)
Also there are so more normal gallery options including wordpresses gallery shortcode.

I strongly suggest that you look into a more normal solution for your galleries.
