Hi
Just wanted to say that I wish I had discovered your Custom Widgets plug in before wasting so much time failing to make others work. It’s so simple, and unlike the others I tried, doesn’t need any coding knowledge. Thank you!

Hey there. Great job on the Custom Widgets plugin. I just wanted to suggest two small terminology changes.

You have an extended option called “Show Widget Only on Homepage”.

First, I would suggest calling it something else, maybe blog page, instead since many people like me have a static page set as home and the blog section labeled something else, like news. At first I thought this option would affect my “home” page, whichever it was, but it turned out to affect my blog page (called news).

Second, I don’t think it should say “Only” on Home/Blog Page, because that implies to me that it somehow would exclude all other pages (which it doesn’t), so maybe it should simply say “Show Widget on Blog/Home page”.

Again, I was just a bit confused at first, but all the functionality I want is already there, so thanks so much for your great work.

I know that if I only want a specific widget only showing up on a certain page, I need to select that page from within the TS Custom Widgets section.

However, if I don’t want a specific widget to appear on any of the pages there is no option for this. All pages are included by default.

Therefore, all of the default widgets are displayed on every page.

Is there any way to change this ?

Hey Slayer, so – it’s well known that this is just about the best plugin of it’s type available on the webosphere.
That does mean that making this suggestion feels a bit niggley – but there is something that would make my life (and no doubt others) a tiny bit easier.
I use quite a lot of text based plugins, and when I go to the list of plugins, each one is simply ‘text’. For those only using one text plugin that is no issue – I currently have 8, and whilst I can deduce which is which, having the title outputted alongside the text description would make my life loads easier.
I’m sure it would be easy enough for a chap of your talents – and would make this plugin even better than it is today…

Hi, I’ve tried to download your widget but the link is broken.

Re my recent inquiry. Problem solved.

Works like a charm and I’m started to post individual “background” widgets for each page

Persistence pays!

Luv your widget, I use a lot of text boxes in my sidebar, when I look at your widget listing they all say text. Is there a way for that to show the title of the text widget as well? It would sure make things easier than trying to remember which is which.

OK, solved. Pilot error.
I had changed the page to static so it blocks the widget.

This plugin works on all of my pages EXCEPT one. That page is tltled Blog. I appears to configure correctly but simply no widget on the page. If I don’t select a page it does show up there (and all other pages) so I know that the widget nad page are working correctly. Suggestions of where to start?
