In Chrome on my website [ use the link field ] I have the following problem.
I create a widget with normal text, then I add a widget alias for that widget in another sidebar.
When I now want to edit the text in the original widget, the save button stay grey after changes. When I change the widget title, the save button is blue, but the text content disappears.
Any idea?
]]>Hey there,
nice plugin, thanks!
But I’ve noticed that the scripts and styles are enqueued on every admin page via admin_enqueue_scripts. This should be limited to wp-admin/widgets.php only IMO.
This is a very cool plugin and I hoped to be able to use it but there is one problem:
I need to change one parameter in the alias.
In my case it’s: Display as: [?]?Links [?] Checkboxes
At the original widget position it needs to display as links on the alias it needs to display as checkboxes.
It’s a plugin that allows to select categories.
I want the same categories checked but displayed differently.
Sadly only the title can be overwritten.
]]>Hi,
I’m using a widget area that has all the “normal site widgets” and they are numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
I’m having pages that should have a single widget replaced here I’m using a custom widget area, which my theme can replace against the standard widget area, unfortunately “Widget Alias” is somehow adding more than just the alias widgets, the widget are numbered: 1,2,2,3,5,6,4,5,6,7,8 which is messing up the layout.
So I suspect that the way that plugin work is causing the trouble
Anyone else seeing this?
Cheers
Joerg
Is what I see when using short code method.
Refer to line 205 in widget-alias.php
$widget_id = $args['widget_id'];
isset fixes:
if ( isset( $args['widget_id'] ) ) {
$widget_id = $args['widget_id'];
}I thought it was because test site PHP version is 5.5.15 but it also show up on 5.3.x. Cant test 5.2.x as that other things go poof.
Test site not really clean but warning seems like a legit oops ??
]]>I have been looking for a way to duplicate text widgets to be used in multiple sidebars (with the plugin Custom Sidebars).
I was just wondering, when you create an alias, it allows you to select from all the previous widgets, including other alias widgets.
Example:
Text-3 – original widget
widget-alias-3 – alias of text-3
I want to use text-3 again, obviously, I just make the new widget an alias of text-3, but what happens if you select widget-alias-3?
Should you even be able to select widget-alias’s in the option?
Is there a reason to alias an alias?
Just wondering if this would make the drop-down less cluttered? I can imagine when you have 200 widgets, it could get messy
Thanks!
