Hi,
I recently updated my site to WordPress 5.5 and when I attempt to add media to my posts and pages I cannot. I checked the console log and it displayed a TypeError: live is not a function in the sortable-widgets.js file.
I had a look and it seemed to be that the sortable-widgets.js file uses it on lines 97 and 105 that used it and changing it to ” $sortableFields.on(‘click’, function(e) { ” resolved the issue.
]]>Hi,
I’m developing a plugin with a custom widget.
In this widget, user is able to fill in a textarea and select one or several posts in a multi select.
I tried to create acopy of the widget in order to use it through Widget Wrangler but I encounter an issue :
The Wideget Wrangler version of the widget seems unable to support the multi-select (only the last selected item is saved).
Note : if I use the widget on it’s own (through the “normal” WordPress widget area), it works perfectly that’s why I think it may be a bug on Widget Wrangler side.
Can you check on that?
]]>Hi Jonathan
I’m back! I have been updating websites up to WP 4.9.6 and a few theme type but am having critical issues with those using WP Twenty Fourteen Theme on multisite installs. Single installations and non-Tenty-Fouteen seem ok.
All of them have this error even when there is no visible issues (wp-config debut set to “true”):
——————–
Notice: wpdb::prepare was called incorrectly. The query does not contain the correct number of placeholders (2) for the number of arguments passed (3). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 4.8.3.) in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 4148
——————–
In the worst case I loose the website and get on or more of these:
——————–
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or ‘(‘ in /wp-content/plugins/widget-wrangler/widget-wrangler.php on line 38

I am having a hard time finding a pattern except that the crashes happen in multisite. I tried deleting and reinstalling WW. The issues goes away until I re-install.
Got my fingers crossed.

]]>So far, I have created a corral and a couple widgets, and set the preset widgets for pages and posts, and set the corral to a widget under Appearance->Widgets.
When I go to the Presets page of Widget Wrangler and click the Create New Preset link with Standard selected in the drop-down above, I receive the following three errors across the page:
Warning: Illegal string offset ‘name’ in ***/wp-content/plugins/widget-wrangler/admin/AdminPagePresets.php on line 323
Warning: Illegal string offset ‘name’ in ***/wp-content/plugins/widget-wrangler/admin/AdminPagePresets.php on line 340
Warning: Illegal string offset ‘name’ in ***/wp-content/plugins/widget-wrangler/admin/SortableWidgetsUI.php on line 109
]]>I installed the plugin, and on the Presets page, I don’t see options for “default” or “posts page” I see “a (core) listed twice. I see “Default” and “Posts Page” in the database. Is something corrupted in my installation?
]]>Hey Jonathon. Leave it to me to find the squirrelly bugs.
I updated to WW 2.3.5 and everything passed the little function tests I always use on WW. Nothing is “broken” as such. However, when I go to a page that has no widget assigned to any corral and then I assign one I am no longer able to have no widgets assigned. Meaning, I can drag it to another corral, I can add and remove other widgets, and I even replace the original widget, but I can no longer have the ability to have no widgets. I must have at least one in there.
As a work-around I can create a corral (like “disabled”) and then drag the widget there.
Not had a change to test on an earlier version of WP. Also, this was in a multisite environment.
]]>Hi there,
Since upgrading to 2.3.5, I get an error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: WidgetWrangler is not defined
at sortable-widgets.js:4
at sortable-widgets.js:251… when editing a page, and the functionality to add widgets to corrals doesn’t work (presumably because of the JS error).
jQuery version is 1.12.3, if that helps.
Cheers
]]>Hi,
You have a little error in admin/Admin.php – line 153
else if ( !empty( $context['taxonomy'] && empty( $context['term'] ) ) ) {
Should be:
else if ( !empty( $context['taxonomy'] ) && empty( $context['term'] ) ) {
parenthesis error ??
]]>Hey Jonathon,
I posted this 9 months ago, it cleared up, now it’s back. Whenever I add a corral to a multisite blog I get “No Corrals Defined” and they are gone. Will not add any either. Before I did a Network Upgrade and it cleared. No such luck today.
Hope you are still supporting this plugin!!

]]>I know to some it is probably a pro, but I’m using the Gravity Forms shortcode to put forms into widgets and the “Widget Preview” is executing the shortcode. The problem is since the form has required fields, whenever I try to save the widget the form stops the saving process.
To fix this problem, I have to:
1. Make my widget changes.
2. Open the inspector and delete the form’s HTML.
2. Save the widget.
So I have a few questions:
1. How beneficial is it to execute the shortcodes in the Widget Previewer?
2. How necessary is the widget previewer as a whole? Especially since many of the widgets I create aren’t just for sidebars. (I don’t know about others’ operating procedures though.)
3. If the above two questions don’t suggest viable solutions, how hard would it be to apply GET/POST, HTML validation and requirements, and JS blocking sterilizations to the Widget Previewer?

Hi Jonathan (this is Diana from the Meetup.)
I’m using Widget Wrangler for the first time on a Genesis website. When I create and add widget content using the Post editor, the widget content is placed with class tags for “widget” and for “content” which actually mucks things up, and looks like a widget-inside-a-widget, and is not word wrapping inside the sidebar, as “content” inherits a defined width, and “widget” inherits an additional left padding style. Is this markup being inserted by Widget Wrangler?
https://speaklanguagecenter.com/scandinavia2017/
I didn’t see a place where I could manage the default CSS for the Widget Wrangler widgets, is there such a thing, or must I create my own set of CSS rules for classes “widget” and “content” specific to Widget Wrangler class?
]]>Hi Jonathan,
You will love this one. I am using WP Multisite and WW together. Everything is working OK on the entire site except for the main level. The widgets are fine and the site works fine. However, I am getting “No Corrals designed” in the corral section. Clearly they are there somewhere because it all works. Here is what I tried:
1. made sure there is no caching
2. tried another theme (even though it works everywhere else)
3. disabled all the plugins except WW
4. made sure Theme compatibility mode was on
5. updated all the plugins and performed the Upgrade procedure
6. activated the debug feature in wp-config.php and got no errors
7. tried creating a new corral — no errors, no corral, no real response
The problem is that I do not know how long this issue existed. The client was “watching things over” since the last updated to WordPress 4.4. I took over and updated everything.
Got my fingers crossed.

]]>I am excited to have a widget that shows up on one page only, my artists’ page. This is great. I just installed the widget and place the content- a list of names with links. Unfortunately the names show up as a paragraph instead of a list. I tried putting in hard returns but that did not help. Any advice?
Also now this puts empty rectangular boxes on the additional pages where the widget is not viewed. How can I correct that?

Thanks again.
]]>LOVE this plugin!!
I have each category as it’s own page, and I would like to make a ‘before post’ widget for each individual category. Currently I have it to where the home page has one and then all the categories share the same ‘before post’ widget, is there a way to have each category have it’s own ‘before post’ widget?
I am using the template JustWrite Pro and this website is https://www.denverchronicles.com/
Thank you, everything is helpful ??
]]>We recently updated to WP 4.5. Our site has 6 menus which display on the relevant pages using Widget Wranger. Now when I add new pages under two less-populated menus, the pages get added to the menu and appear when you look at the parent page; however, if I select the new page from the menu list, that new page does not display any menu. Older pages that existed before the update display two items:
<aside id=”custom-menu-wizard-3″ class=”widget clearfix widget_custom_menu_wizard hidden”> and
<aside id=”custom-menu-wizard-9″ class=”widget clearfix widget_custom_menu_wizard”>
The new page only displays the hidden custom-menu-wizard-3 component.
]]>Hello,
I’m using PSR-4 autoloading with some namespaces for my custom Widgets. I’ve noticed your plugin has some issues handling the namespaced class name though, specifically during cloning.
I’ve created a PR for this on your Github repo: https://github.com/daggerhart/widget-wrangler/pull/1
If there’s a better way to submit a patch, please let me know. Thanks!
]]>On the post edit screen, click on a select box for a widget located in a corral. If you are in Firefox 41.0.2, the select box will not expand to show the available corrals options or “remove” option. You can drag and drop widgets to rearrange them without any issues, however, if you want disable a widget to remove it from a corral, you are out of luck. There are not any java script errors that I can see. If you go into Chrome 46.0.2490.80, the select boxes work just fine.
NOTE: The other select boxes for “Add A Widget” and “Widget Presets” work as advertised in Firefox.
]]>Hello,
I noticed when i activate you plugin it makes my website load in a minified state (double tap on the website on your mobile phone and you will see it change from normal to minified state and vice versa).
I would like to know how to turn this off.

Hi Jonathan. I realize 4.3.1 is very new but I wanted to point out that when I pick the “Hide the Widget from the drag and drop Wrangler” toggle is still shows up on the Wrangler pull-down.
Other than that every feature I use works great.
]]>Hi there, I installed widget wrangler after another pluggin mod suggested to achiev something I needed and after I did it I noticed that the share buttons of the pages I created after I did it were not displaying the share buttons at the bottom of pages.
Not sure if it was wrangler or not but I noticed it happened right after it. I uninstalled it after but the bug remains.
Here is an example of what I am talking about.
page with the share buttons -> https://insight-psicoterapias.com/videos-2/demonstracao-de-atendimento-de-fritz-perls-1-legendado-pt-br/
page withoug -> https://insight-psicoterapias.com/videos-2/entrevista-com-carl-jung-legendado/
Even though both are set to show the share buttons. Could it be something due to something that was done when I installed the pluggin?
Sorry if this does not concern you and have nothing to do with your pluggin.
Thx
]]>Tried everything– seems like a great plugin except it doesn’t work. I can’t change widgets from one page to another. Plug in doesn’t seem to be doing anything.
Does it just not work with this version of WP?
]]>Had an issue where I didn’t close my query and PHP had a fatal error. Which easy enough to fix… But widget wrangler failed on the backend as well as front end. So I had to delete the widget and rewrite it from scratch again (no reverting).
Would be nice if a check validation was ran on save if it failed just convert everything to plan text and strip the <?php so it doesn’t break the whole system.
Just an idea – really powerful plugin thank you!
]]>All of the sudden I’m getting errors when posting anything. I did update widget wrangler but no other changes.

]]>I am using WW 2.2.1.
The statement <?php require(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/filename.php’);?> no longer works in Advanced Parsing. When I save the edit window completely empties. I have to Update to get the widget window back, and it is empty. I tried INCLUDE rather than REQUIRE and the widget saves but does not function. Eventually, after several updates, the INCLUDE options blanks out too.
The last WW that worked (as far as I know) is 2.1.3.
]]>Hi Jonathan,
I just want to suggest a simple improvement on the drag & drop interface displayed on page/post form.
I have a large amount of widgets and it became a little difficult to be sure I select the right one, so I’ve thinked of a simple quick improvement could be to change the background color of any “.ww-item” element on hover to help user confirm he’s affecting the right widget to the right coral.
]]>Hi,
Me again ?? !
I’m in the need of being able to display one widget several times in a coral.
But in order to keep things as easy as possible to maintain, i would like to do this without cloning the widget.
I can’t see any other topic on this particular subject.
Do you plan to have this possibility to the plugin?
]]>Hi,
This seems like a great plugin, but I’m not really “getting” it. The youtube vid tute is a bit dated. Any chance for an update soon?
Hi,
I’ve created a new widget encapsulating a gravity form shortcode.
I can save the widget the first time, but I can’t save the widget after editing it.
I believe it could be linked to the preview widget preview because when I try to save my widget after editing it, I get a page with the form displayed and an error message related to the form scenario.
It seems when I clic “Update widget”, the form is submited…
I try tu disble “widget preview” from widget’s edit page help panel, unfortunately it doesn’t change anything (if I’m correct the bloc is hidden but code style here).
Any idea how to change that behaviour?
]]>Hello- This is my first ever posting to a forum so please be gentle.
My issue SEEMS to be like this one
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/default-widgets-not-added-after-save
but not quite so starting a new topic.
Website Uses Child Theme. I made a simple href update to a sidebar widget hit update and our right sidebar completely disappeared. Our LEFT sidebar widget is currently intact now, but when adding a <b> tag to ONE item, earlier, it deleted all new code I added since yesterday.
Please let me know if there is any other information you need.
Thank you.
The Youtube video is set to private. I had a conflict with another plugin that was preventing the copy widget page from functioning. Without the video I wasn’t sure how that page was supposed to work. The conflict was with Social Media Widget. It prevented the widgets from opening up on the copy widget page. It might be good to include a bit of instruction at the top of that page on how it’s supposed to work.
