[Plugin: Display Widgets] Help me Obi-wan, you're my only hope. Widget clash.

You could try using a different child pages widget rather than the one that comes bundled with Suffusion. Alternatively consider using a plugin such as Widget Logic to control where your widgets appear.

Yup, used another child page plugin. Can’t say it’s as good as the suffusion one though.

Thanks

It turns out I needed the Suffusion child pages widget as it displays thumbs and excerpts properly and no others did – I also didn’t like the other widget context type plugins so I’ve altered the display widget code a touch to make them work together.

Go to plugins/display-widgets/display-widgets.php and do a find and replace on “include” – give it a unique name like “dw_include”.

Now there shouldn’t be a clash and it all works fine.

Thanks

Hi munkykisser! I have tried your way of replacing all “include” to “dw_include”, but the Suffusion child pages still isn’t showing.

Can someone please help!!

Hi,

Can you explain what exactly is wrong? This only seems to be a clash with these two widgets – these are the two you are using right?

Also when you replaced include with dw_include was replaced it about 14 times?

yeah I replaced all the “include” to “dw_include” for display widget but the child pages widget still didn’t work. But I solved it by replacing all the “include” in suffusion widget to “s_include” and that solved the problem.

I know nothing about coding so I have no idea why it’s solved, but i’m happy lol.

Different approach but same job done.

Basicly it was due to a variable clash between the suffusion plugin and the other we are using as the code is used in the same area. The variables must have unique names or they will be altered by the other plugin.

Remember that you might have to change the variable name again each time you upgrade (bummer but no show stopper).

Make some sense?

Sorry, haven’t been getting emails here. “instance” has been switched to “dw_instance” for the next version.
