PHP4 style constructors will be deprecated in WP 4.3. Your plugin has been identified here as one that uses the PHP4 style constructors. In WP 4.3, these constructors will throw a warning error. See this article: https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2015/07/02/deprecating-php4-style-constructors-in-wordpress-4-3/
Please update your plugin to use the PHP5 constructors.
]]>We just started receiving these errors. Haven’t changed version of MCW. (Using the latest 2.0.5.)
The front page of our website looks fine, but you can see the error messages when you visit one of the store categories, such as: https://bigbeartools.com/store/#!/~/category/id=6903465
The errors are (making our page look ugly):

]]>I’m having an issue with the left hand side bar, which is My Custom Widgets, being pushed under the rest of the content on my website on Internet Explorer. It works fine with Internet Explorer 10, but older versions don’t show up correctly.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
You can view the format errors at https://behindthethrills.com
Please note.. It displays correctly for all other browsers, including: FireFox, Chrome, and Safari (as far as I know).
]]>Just downloaded the plugin, it works better than anything else I’ve tried thus far. However, whenever I add some html to it, the font size is always small. I’ve checked my style.css and it doesn’t appear to have anything to do with my internal site settings.
I’ve tried inserting css tags (i.e. <h2>text</h2>) but it doesn’t seem to have made any difference at all. Does anyone know how to change the font size using this plugin? Any help would be hot.

]]>Anyone know how to get buttons to work in My Custom Widgets.
I created a custom widget with coding:
‘<p align=”center”>[button link=”https://wp.bearcreekchurch.com/media/”%5D Watch Service Live [/button]</p>
<p align=”center”>[button link=”https://bearcreek.podbean.com/”%5D Audio Podcasts [/button]</p>
<p align=”center”>[button link=”https://connections.bearcreekchurch.com”%5D Connections Magazine[/button]</p>’
The Button show up under the WordPress widgets “custom content”
But, if I create a My custom widget with the same code… I get only the HTML text above.. NO Buttons….
HELP!
]]>Hi there!
I’ve enabled the debug mode in WordPress, just for fun, I thought.
Then I saw hundreds of these messages:
Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /home/.../wp-content/plugins/mycustomwidget/my_custom_widget_functions.php on line 769

Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /home/.../wp-content/plugins/mycustomwidget/my_custom_widget_functions.php on line 775
Any ideas?
Thanks!
]]>The plugin is working fine for me, however my error-log file is filled with countless entries of the following:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mycustomwidget/my_custom_widget_functions.php(811) : eval()’d code on line 1
Any advice on how to stop this error?
]]>Hi,
I’m trying to find a solution to display my long list of links into 2 columns in the sidebar. I want to make the list appear shorter instead that it goes all the way to down at the bottom of the page. (and preserve the links categories)
Please visit my site to see what I mean ?? Top-rencontre ( right sidebar at the bottom )
Maybe I have the wrong approach on how to display the list but I figured maybe by creating a custom widget would do the trick… any ideas on how I could accomplish that?
Thank you!
I need to add a new widget to a new area of a theme. How do I do this? What is the shortcode to do this? Which file should I paste the shortcode of this new widget in the theme?
Thanks for the nice plugin. ??
]]>I just downloaded ‘my custom widgets’. It seems to be working great except when I have some php in my code. I have been looking for an example of how to add the php. I fell over this by copying some already working code that I had handcoded into my sidebar. It had one line of php in it, surrounded by html like:
html…
<?php a line of php code ?>
html…
It was rejected and didn’t work.
Can someone help me figure out how to use this feature?
Thanks.
]]>I added an image and a link on MCW and want to know how to add alt text to that image. how do I do this?
]]>I’ve just installed the plugin on WordPress 3.1 and while the core functionality seems to work, some of the back end editing seems to be broken.
Most noticeably when creating/editing widgets the AJAX bits are somewhat hit-and-miss if they will respond or not. Sometimes work on the first click, sometimes won’t work until after a few clicks, sometimes requires a page refresh.
If you need any more specific information on this please let me know.
]]>Hi guys I have just installed this plugin thinking it was exactly what I was after but now I am unsure… or it could just be me not knowing how to configure it!!!
I want to customise the existing default wordpress widgets as they all add in
I have activated the “copy feature” but this doesnt allow me to change any of the existing markup… is it possible to change the styles of existing plugins?
hope someone can help me
many thanks
John
I love this plugin, but it doesn’t seem to work with WordPress Multisite. I have My Custom Widget installed on a subsite of a WordPress multisite installation.
When the plugin is activated, it saves the path of the Page wrong. For example, when I edit a Page and click “Update”, it saves the path wrong. For example, before I click “Update”, the original path is https://www.subsite.mainsite.com/Page. This is correct. But when I click “Update”, it saves it as https://www.mainsite.com/Page, and creates the page on the mainsite if it doesn’t exist.
This goes away when I deactivate the plugin.
Any tips on how to avoid this would be much appreciated! Has anyone else tried it with multisite?
]]>Hi,
I have been using this plug in for a while and it is excellent, but I have a problem.
I tried to create a widget with a form inside, but the code was corrupt. Now, the code is embedded into my control panel, so I cannot delete it.
Can you tell me where these items are stored, i.e. what table in the database or where I can find them so that I can manually remove the corrupt widget.
Thank you.
OK, the 500 errors were definitely an issue with modsecurity on this server, but now I am getting strange behavior – widget always reverts to “php” if I select “html” and save, then go to widget, the widget is blank – no content.
What is really bizarre is that mycustomwidgets are working fine on another install on the same exact server.
Really frustrated that I can’t get it to work…help!
Upgraded to 3.0 & 2.0.5 and all my widgets disappeared as usual when upgrading the plugin – which was not unusual to me as I have been using it a long time. I headed to the “mycustomwidgets” part of the “appearance” tab where I click “save all” to restore all the widgets after upgrading the plugin and it usually restores them all to the sidebar and everything for me.
After clicking save, I get a 500 error and cannot access my custom widgets or the widgets area of my wordpress whatsoever. I have deactivated ALL other plugins and still no dice. If I delete all the old widgets and reinstall, it will let me add about 30 of the 45 custom widgets I am using it for and then craps out again with a 500 error.
Wondering if anyone else has encountered this?
