row of text showing up in new widget area

HI, can you please let me know the steps to reproduce it ? i tried to reproduce but it’s working fine for me. i have tried in both sidebar.php using dynamic_sidebar code and in page using shortcode generated form plugin “Get shortcode”. it works fine. maybe something going wrong within your theme code? thanks!

I really like this plugin, it’s perfect for what I need to do, but I’m also getting this error, but only for some of the widget areas.

< id=”text-20″ class=”widget widget_text marysapartment3please”>

I’ve created 1 widget area with a text widget and pasted html in that widget text box, which has worked with no issue, it outputted correctly with no extra text above my content.

However the 2nd widget area, doing the exact same thing, outputted text like above, I then created a new widget area with a different name twice and the 2nd rename seemed to have fixed any error.

The 3rd widget area I created though, no matter how many times I’ve recreated the widget area with different names… about 10times, displays that unwanted text

I managed to get past the error.

– I disabled lots of plugins.
– Took out numbers from my custom widget area names.
– Made new widget areas with just text in the name.

I don’t know what fixed it, but that seemed to have solved my issue

Sorry, but this is not resolved. I have the same issue so I came here, but nothing of the above works, they are just experiments. I will try to tell you how to reproduce it.

I used 3 consecutive text widgets, one above the other, like this, in the end of the index.php

<?php dynamic_sidebar('mycube'); ?>
	<?php dynamic_sidebar('info'); ?>
	<?php dynamic_sidebar('about-us'); ?>
        <?php get_footer(); ?>

I placed 1st the “about-us”, then the “info” and the problem appeared when I inserted “mycube”. When I remove it, everything is fine, and when I place it again, I have the same problem, and it seems that there is a counter, as in the first time it shows something like id=”text-08″ and then id=”text-09″.

Congrats for the plugin btw, but lets fix this!

hi wpuser131, i create a 3 widget area and place it as you mentioned above. then added text widget for each widget area’s. but i’m not getting any error as you mentioned above. Btw are you using html tags inside text widget? can you recheck if yes. may be there’s extra tags or unclosed tags ? Thanks!

I do have html tags, but that wasn’t the problem. I tried removing all text from the widget, but it still appears. I then tried removing the text widget and replace it with calendar and I got the same tags, but with id=”calendar-01″ etc for every widget I tried instead of the text. I don’t get it. I will try reinstalling the plug in maybe.

Edit: The strange thing: When I just delete it , or put another one at its place, everything is fine! But when I use this widget, even if I change its id, i got this message out. This makes me fill like its all about the content. But on the other side, even when I change the text content, I get the same result. So confused!

Any other idea to check?

Well I fixed this. The default wrapper tag for widgets is a

• one. The problem was that this tag was never there – don’t know why- so the only thing that was showing was the content of the
• tag, like its class etc.

  I resolved this by deleting the specific widget, and creating another one making sure by advanced settings that the

• tag was selected.

  I think that this is the problem, sounds like a bug? Or is it just me, I don’t know, anyway I think it is indeed resolved now that we know the origin.

  Cheers.
