Start a petition, declare war, whatever it takes. You’ve got my vote to see the ability to move widgets between sidebars restored!!!!!!!!

You can drag-and-drop widgets within a sidebar.

If you have more than one sidebar, the only way I can see would be to open separate browser windows or tabs and try that. I haven’t done that, but it might work.

Surely there’s a better way?? You can’t tell me the WP gurus actually dumbed it up so you can’t any longer move widgets between sidebars??

REALLY???

@michaelh — you said: “Otto’s execPHP is a pretty easy way to get a different widget for each set of categories you want, but since that doesn’t seem to be acceptable,.. “

I have a plugin installed called Exec-PHP. Is that the same as Otto’s widget you’re referring to?

It sounds like, from your comment, that the execPHP widget you’ve mentioned would do what I want if it let’s me get “a different widget for each set of categories.” Or at least it would get me close to what I want?

Any way you can explain to me what I would need and how that might work to do it that way?

Thanks again to all of you for your help and suggestions.

I’m a simple person with little background for hacking any of the WP code or PHP in general, so I often come here and get real help. For that I thank you all.

I have a simple question related to this thread on category widgets and try as I might, I cannot find answers here or via Google or Yahoo! or anywhere else.

What in the world is the purpose of the multiple category widgets available via most WP themes these days? I was hoping to do something similar to what’s asked about in this thread. It seems if I create category-1 and category-2 widgets, I ought to be able to easily display categories I want in number 1 and others I want in number 2.

But, as pointed out here, I can’t easily do that.

So what in the world is the purpose of being able to create multiple category widgets? And is there a plugin that will allow multiple category widgets displaying different categories in each widget?

I really appreciate the tremendous help this forum offers. Thanks in advance.
