Hello mrwweb,

sorry for delay in responding to you. I tried inserting the pieces of code into the child theme file as you had instructed. It did not change visually (on widget page) and the widgets page was still frozen (also unable to use any of the drop down menus on the widgets page – frozen). I was unable to uninstall and re-install the latest version which you also sent over. I am/ was hesitant about removing an active plug in and replacing it with a new version level. So sadly i was not able to full test out the plugin as you’ve requested.

@mrwweb,

Does this go into the child functions.php file or the themes main functions.php file?

Hello @mrwweb,

Yes i would most definitly be will to try out any solution you come up with. Thank you for taking the time to at least find a temporary solution. Many thanks.

Hello Mark,

Sorry about the delay. I was able to try this but unfortunately it did not help. What I have ended up doing is changing over a few of our landing pages to use a page in page widget in order to reduce the number of uses of the feature a page widget. Unfortunately this wont really help because I cant manipulate the widgets page to delete uses that i am no longer using.
This is the site i am working on if it helps…
https://www.pveng.com

All of our sidebars which display “contact us”, “new and update” and “related reading” pages are also created using the Feature a page widget. Which is why I have so many uses of it. Each page basically has its own sidebar created.

Hello Mark,

Yeah I have alot of pages. Probably in the range of 150+ pages being pulled into other pages via the widget. We are only using the pages aspect of the widget. We have a separate widget for featuring post.

Well right at the bottom I have found the following…

<b>Fatal error</b>: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in <b>/home1/pveng/public_html/wp-content/plugins/feature-a-page-widget/inc/fpw_helper_functions.php</b> on line <b>115</b><br />

in the mean time I will keep scrolling through the page source and tried to find something more.

Thanks for your help. Its greatly appreciated.

Hi @mrwweb

Ya i have confirms this is the plugin in use. I went through the plugins page after reactivating it and follow the details to contact you.
I have opened the console, reloaded the page and tried to do things on the page. Nothing on the page (appearance-> widgets) works, and no red text is showing in the console. This is all i get…

JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1
load-scripts.php?c=0&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,jquery-ui-core,jquery-ui-widget,jquery…:9

I have also tried as you recommended going via the customize screen, but although the left customize sidebar show, the page to be customize fails to display, unless i turn off the plugin.

Not sure what other information I can give you that would be helpful.

Hey @karpstrucking,

Well thank you for your help, i have found the plugin responsible. Sadly that plugin is so widely used in my site i fear i might be hooped. I have written to the plugin creator for further help.

Plugin: Feature A Page Widget

Please disregard. I had staff pages set as private. Sorted it out.
