WP 3.8 Fix

It seems there are a few people having issues with the WP Page Widget plugin for WP 3.8

For me when editing a page or post it simply didn’t show any widget positions to the right of the widgets.

The cause of this was from the following code starting on lines 357, 543, 685 and 829 in /wp-content/plugins/wp-page-widget/wp-page-widgets.php

if (!in_array($sidebar, $settings['sidebars']))
 continue;

By removing the ‘!’ it showed all the widget positions but when assigning a widget to a widget position and saving this widget position would then disappear on a reload of the page.

I am not sure why the developer used this code here so I just deleted the 2 lines which works fine from my testing.

Hope this helps
