[Plugin: Yet Another Related Posts Plugin] Widget cannot be used in different sidebars

Thanks. I’m not sure why this is, either, and would love to know if you work it out.

To fix this remove completely function widget_yarpp_init()
from includes.php, also the line add_action(‘plugins_loaded’, ‘widget_yarpp_init’); from yarpp.php

Instead of widget_yarpp_init() place this code, and the plugin will be
working with multiple sidebars:

class YarppWidget extends WP_Widget {
    /** constructor */
    function YarppWidget() {
        parent::WP_Widget(false, $name = 'YARPP Widget');
    }

    /** @see WP_Widget::widget */
    function widget($args, $instance) {
 		extract($args);
		global $wpdb, $post;
		if (is_single() && have_posts()) {
		  get_post($post->ID);
		  echo $before_widget;
		  echo $before_title . __('Related Posts','yarpp') . $after_title;
		  echo yarpp_related(array('post'),array());
		  echo $after_widget;
 		}
     }

    /** @see WP_Widget::update */
    function update($new_instance, $old_instance) {
        return $new_instance;
    }

    /** @see WP_Widget::form */
    function form($instance) {
        $title = esc_attr($instance['title']);
     }

} // class YarppWidget

add_action('widgets_init', create_function('', 'return register_widget("YarppWidget");'));

Not sure where to leave this but it might as well be here.

When I first installed YARRP way back. it screwed a lot of things up even though when it worked, it worked the best. But I had to take out of service.

Then this new version came along so I installed it on two sites and had to take it down as it stopped all the posts and pages from being displayed.

Sidebar, worked fine.

I suggest you create .htaccess file if you don’t have already one
on your server root and place on the first line:

php_flag display_errors on

Tell us what error shows and will tell you how to fix it ??

George

Yes, I have .htaccess installed, I’ll try it and let you know.

Thanks

@gtk_, what’s the salient difference in that patch you’ve supplied? What makes that work with multiple, but not the supplied code?

Ok, I’ve installed it in .htaccess, now what?

@creative-i are you seeing any PHP errors being printed now?
