• UPDATED: The developer contacted me right away and fixed the problem with this plugin. He had been trying to trace down exactly what was causing the issue with just some web sites. My combination of theme and plugins helped him figure out the fix right away.

    I now give it five stars. Great support and extremely useful plugin. I added a Facebook widget on a page so that visitors who do not have Facebook can see the posts on our page. By being able to put a widget ANYWHERE, I have more complete control over the page. THANK YOU Todd Halfpenny!

    OLD REVIEW: The screen where you choose the widget gives the drop down list of possible widgets and nothing else. The Title box is not visible and there is no button to execute the chosen widget. I watched the demo and see there should be a Title bar to fill in but there is not. Maybe a conflict with another plugin but I need the plugins that I have. This plugin does not work for me.

    Hey there @elizwood,

    Really sorry to hear this, sounds like the same issue as these folk are having.

    I would love to get to the bottom of this but so far have been unable to recreate the issue. Any chance you could please help me by filling in these details for me (as many as you can, but I understand if you don’t have them all)?

    • WordPress Version
    • PHP version
    • Theme (and version)
    • List of other plugins you have
    • OS (Win, Mac, Linux)
    • Browser

    Thanks in advance… it would be really great to work out what’s causing this issue.

    This is great @elizwood, thanks!

    I’ll try to get a setup like that in place to see if I can find the issue.

    Plugin Author toddhalfpenny

    (@toddhalfpenny)

    Hey again @elizwood… I really hope I’ve made a breakthrough here, thanks to all the info you provided.

    If I were to post a link to an updated PHP file would you be willing to test it out for me, please? It would involve FTPing the file onto your server.

    For info for you (and others) it seems that the widgets that come with Atahualpa behave differently from those that come with WordPress itself (and others I’ve seen so far)… so I’ll continually looking into getting them to work too.

    Thread Starter elizwood-1

    (@elizwood-1)

    I am happy to try it again.

    Plugin Author toddhalfpenny

    (@toddhalfpenny)

    Smashing, thanks! The file is here.

    Please unzip it and then upload the turbo-editor-dialog.php file it contains into the following directory (there is a file of this name in there already)

    wp-content/plugins/turbo-widgets/include

    Once this is in place you should be able to re-activate the plugin and then hopefully be able to insert widgets using the WYSIWYG editor.

    I really appreciate you taking time to help out here, this issue has been bugging me for weeks now.

    Thread Starter elizwood-1

    (@elizwood-1)

    It works….but not with the Atahualpa widgets.

    Thread Starter elizwood-1

    (@elizwood-1)

    I found the Widgetize pages Light when I could not get your plugin to work. There are a few conflicts you might want to test between the two. Don’t need both but someone might have both and run into problems. Thanks!

    Thread Starter elizwood-1

    (@elizwood-1)

    FYI. The reason I was trying you Turbo Widget is because your original Widget on Pages stopped working when I updated the site. You might want to also update the same changes to the old plug in that you did to make Turbo Widget work.

    Plugin Author toddhalfpenny

    (@toddhalfpenny)

    @elizwood – Oh Yes! I’m so pleased, and very grateful… you wouldn’t believe how many different setups of WP I have with diff versions of themes/PHP/plugins and I haven’t been able to spot the issue until now.

    With this new info I should be able to also make some changes to now enable the Atahualpa widgets also (they’re built in a fairly old way so instantiating them needs a different approach, I think).

    I shall get a release of the plugin out soon that fixes the issue of all widgets not working, and then I’ll get onto the task of handling these older widgets.

    Thanks so much again, I really do appreciate it… and if you think that my support has been good I’d be ever so grateful if you could adjust the 1* rating ??
