Been Using It For Years and I'll Keep On Using It!

I’ve been using Widgets Reloaded as a plugin separate from Theme Hybrid (where the plugin originated from) as an add-on for my own WordPress sites for years now.

The plugin offers all the extra options and flexibility to my widgets that I would have loved to have had with my original widgets.

From all the Tag display options to all the Category and Archives and whatever else display options, instead of having to get a bunch of different custom widgets to display what I want, I can get them all in one plugin package and then use my own CSS to style accordingly.

Up until the recent 2.5 release, I had never once had a problem with the widget either during general use or after a WordPress upgrade and to me, this is proof of both the plugin’s stability and compatibility with WordPress core code.

That said, when 2.5 came and with it, changes to ultimately make the plugin better able to transition with future WordPress and Theme Hybrid releases, there was a situation where previous settings got wiped and this has been my one and only personal example of where the plugin ‘broke’ or behaved in an unexpected manner.

However, Justin was quick to professionally and thoroughly address the various issues (including apologizing for the ‘breaking’ of settings and addressing the necessity of having to reset settings and the necessity of certain changes) brought up in the Support forum and because of this, I am very confident that in the future, I can continue to look forward to stable releases for a plugin that I have long since considered an essential part of my ‘extending WordPress’ toolbox.

Thank you, Justin, for both this awesome plugin and your timeliness in providing support and answering and addressing questions!
