This excellent plugin has not been updated in over two years and is now throwing up notices such as: “Warning: this plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.” I’m using WordPress v5.3.2.
Forgive me if this has already been asked this year but, when can we expect the next update?
]]>Had an error when I updated to WordPress 4.82. Traced it down to Widgets Reloaded:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/88/5964588/html/wp-content/plugins/widgets-reloaded/widgetsreloaded.php on line 30
The only thing there is namespace Widgets_Reloaded;
]]>Quite a bit has changed in this version while a lot of things have stayed the same. You can view the 1.0.0 release post here: https://themehybrid.com/weblog/widgets-reloaded-version-1-0-0
And, here’s the full change log: https://github.com/justintadlock/widgets-reloaded/blob/master/changelog.md
PHP 5.3.0+
Version 1.0.0 requires that you use PHP version 5.3.0+. If you’re unsure what version you’re running, here’s a plugin that will inform you:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/display-php-version/
Search Widget
The search widget was removed in this version simply because it was no different than the current WordPress search widget. You’ll want to use this.
Calling widgets via the_widget()
If you’re an advanced user who was calling widgets via PHP code via the_widget(), you’ll want to update your code. The widget class names have been changed to utilize namespacing in PHP 5.3.0+.
Widget classes are now in the form of Widgets_Reloaded\Widgets\Name. For example, here’s how to display the archives widget via code now:
<?php the_widget( 'Widgets_Reloaded\Widgets\Archives' ); ?>
After activating, the plugin throws a lot of errors regarding the use of deprecated constructor functions. Time for an update.
]]>Hello,
I just installed the “Widgets Reloaded” Plugin in a WP test site.
It seems to work well on the first sight.
But I wonder, if there is a german language version available?
Best regards, and thank you for your feedback,
Markus
Hi,
The widget does not diplay correctly in 4.4.2
I can send a screenshot.

]]>HI,
Is this plugin maintained i.e. is there any update, support, maintenance…
The last version is 2 years old.
Thanks
]]>Hi
I’m using Widgets Reloaded to enable category hierarchies in the sidebar. Single language works fine.
But there does not seem to be any multi-language support, whether thru WPML or any other plugin. Specifically:
1. Parent Categories, even though translated in WPML, are not displayed, since WR references a Cat ID.
2. However, the child categories are displayed in their correct language, since they are only indirectly referenced in the WR widget (actually, they’re not even referenced – WPML picks them up in Category management.
Given the global use of multi-language sites, I would think this would be a priority…but at this point, I’ll settle for a workaround.
]]>I’m using version .6.0 of your plugin and when I use the categories widget, it will only take the first category I list in a comma separated list. I don’t know if it makes a difference, but the categories that I’m using are 5 digits long, but either way I do it, it will only take one in the list.
I can exclude an additional category by using the category tree exclude, but it looks like this is a bug to me.
Thanks,
Vi
I’m using the category widget on the side of my page. I only want to display certain categories.
I have all their IDs correct, but when I try to either exclude or include, it doesn’t display them all properly.
I’m not using both exclude or include as instructed, only one at a time.
Does anyone know why this would occur?
]]>I installed the plugin trying to have more control over which categories to show. However, I noticed that after installation, Category plugin only has two view options “List” and “None”. What about “Drop-down” view?
Does the the plugin support drop-down view for Categories widget?
How do i add drop down menu in my categories which got sub-categories???
and
After installing widget reloaded my new widget’s theme got change as it was before… what to do?
]]>I notice there was already someone (three years ago) requesting this. I need to have the Category widget in a drop-down format. How can I accomplish this? Thanks.
]]>Hey and thanks for this plugin really nice, it’s just what I needed!!
My problem is that I would like to order every pages I display by the last word of their title.
Pages titles represents names (Firstname Lastname) and I would like to order pages by the last name.
I tried pretty everything and well… I don’t have any idea anymore to resolve this…
Thank’s for reading me and I hope that you’ll find a way for me to resolve this!
Best,
Anatole
]]>Hey and thanks for this plugin really nice, it’s just what I needed!!
My problem is that the visibility option button (present on every widget to control on which pages the widget is shown) is not working anymore (since I installed the plugin)… I would be very helpful to get it back.
Thank’s for reading me and I hope that I didn’t reach a big problem!
Best,
Anatole
]]>I would like to display only those tags assigned to each page. How can I do this?

]]>I’ve created two sidebars, using a custom tag to mark inclusion (sidebarCat)
One of these sidebars is working perfectly, with the correct pages showing in the sidebar:
https://breef.thymeonline.com/marine-conservation/
The second, created the same way, shows two links to each page:
https://breef.thymeonline.com/islands-of-the-bahamas/
Any clues on how to resolve this?

]]>Hi Justin!
I love this plugin in Hybrid and Unique, but I’ve now exclusively started using Underscores starter theme by Automattic. I clapped my hands with glee when I found this plugin. But, unfortunately, I’m not able to see any advanced options in any of the widgets.
Hello Justin-
I just started experimenting w Widgets Reloaded – looks great.
I don’t have a particularly wide monitor (width more like 1400px), and when one of the WR widgets (such as Tags) is opened, the options dialogue box falls underneath the Admin panel left side menu.
Using Firebug, I see both a large negative margin (-529px) and w z-index, which I think are part of your widget. Reducing the neg margin, or pumping the z-index up to 10000, seem to help make the options box either lie atop the menu, or at least not run into the side menu.
Thanks. –Bill
]]>Hi,
is there any solution to grab tags and categories from private posts and use in the widgets?
Really hope so!
All the best,
Rikard
]]>I updated from v 0.4.1 to v 0.5.0 and all of these reloaded widgets disappeared. The changelog says “Overhauled how the entire plugin works” … maybe that included changing how the data is saved?
So before you do this on your live site, make sure you write down all your settings so you can can quickly reenter them after the upgrade.
Thanks for the upgrade Justin, this is one of my favorite plugins
]]>since you updated this plugin not only did it wipe all of my saved widgets and settings but now I have no idea how to exclude certain categories – which is the main reason i was using this plugin before – what should I add in the exclude and include on the widget settings? as nothing seems to be working in this new version.
]]>I am using widget-reloaded plugin and i have a function which count post views. I have to sort categories according to post-views, the post views give total views per post and query like “select category from wp_category order by post_views“;, Either i can use this query directly in wp_list_categories and pass other params like exclude params etc but that can be done manually. I tried plugin file and add option in form but didn’t found how to activate new argument in form
Nice plugin. However, I no longer have “Recent Posts” widget. It would be nice to still have that. Maybe with some added options like the other widgets, but even if it just kept the old one there.
Any idea how I can get that back without uninstalling your plugin, or using PHP Code widget and just calling recent posts that way.
Thanks for any help.

]]>Hey,
This may have been covered already but i was unable to find it, is there a way to enable dropdowns for the categories widget again. Due to my custom Taxonomies i really need this!
Also can you allow us to configure multiple Category widgets into one?
That way it would look alot neater for what i need ??

]]>I was troubleshooting another issue in wp_debug and got these when activating the plugin. FYI
Notice: Use of undefined constant WIDGETS_RELOADED_DIR – assumed ‘WIDGETS_RELOADED_DIR’ in siteurl\wp-content\plugins\widgets-reloaded\widgets-reloaded.php on line 39

]]>I’ve got the most recent version of your Plugin, the ‘Archive’ widget reads:
‘An advanced widget that gives you total control over the output of your archives.’
BUT it hasnt got an option on there to exclude archives by category. I’ve recently created an employee category and we don’t want the recent posts list populated by all of the new employees.
Would you consider adding an ‘exclude from category’ option in you ‘Archive’ functionality?
]]>Looks like Widgets Reloaded is not working on WordPress 3.1.3.
I get the following error displayed before the list I want is displayed. Its as if its working, but spitting out the following error.
Warning: join() [function.join]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/blahblah/public_html/sitename/wp-content/plugins/widgets-reloaded/widget-pages.php on line 47
Let me know if you have any questions.
]]>Is there a way to keep the option of having the Custom Menu Widget?
This plugin replaces the custom menu widget which I’d like to keep – probably a have cake and eat it situation.
