Can't Control Widget Visibility

    When Jetpack 2.4 was released, one of the modules it contained was Widget Visibility. A quick and easy way to control when and where widgets show up. However, out of all the widgets I have, the one provided by Author Avatars does not show the Widget Visibility option within the widget as if code is preventing it from showing. Is there anyway you could look into this and make the Author Avatar widget compatible with the Widget Visibility Module in Jetpack? I don’t want it to show up on every single post/page on the site.

    Found the problem I belive 🙂

    I am using pre-2.8 code so not using the widget-api (this dates the plug-in)

    But rather still using the muliti-widget class which the widget-API was based on

    So the change should be not to hard but I do need to test as bit

    Try to get this done this week.

    Yep, I can confirm that 1.8.0 of this plugin adds support for widget visibility. Works just fine. Thanks for updating the plugin!

    Thanks Jeff

    Thanks you for testing.

    The change to the widget API has caused a braking change in the CSS

    so as I am adding co-author support into the version upgrade it may be a couple of days before it stable as I need to test a little more before I am happy to put it on ww.wp.xz.cn

    Yes, I did notice the CSS was a bit screwed up, even the changes I had made in my theme to account for the plugin did not work.

    yes

    .multiwidget_author_avatars became .widget_author_avatars

    I will change the plug-in css.
    But I am conceded how to alert upgraders to the change for anyone who has modified CSS

    Any ideas?

    Well, definitely provide the information within the Change Log when you push out the upgrade. I would take advantage of the Other Notes section to outline the changes and what happened and how to reapply those CSS changes.
