 * Both versions 1.13 and 1.14 have this problem. When Simple Staff List is enabled,
   the right-side of the widgets admin page is missing… which prevents you from 
   editing widgets with your plugin enabled. I added an if statement to your plugin
   to exclude it from running on the admin widgets page, but it would be nice if
   this was fixed permanently.

 * I’m sorry you’re having this issue.
 * Several other users have had a similar issue but I’ve never actually been able
   to witness this problem running the most current version of the plugin and the
   most current version of WordPress.
 * What, exactly, are you excluding with your if statement and where are you including
   it?

 * Honestly my fix is a quick and dirty hack. I wrapped the entire simple-staff-
   list.php file in one if statement: if (stristr($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_NAME’], ‘widgets.
   php’) === false)

 * Alright. Do you have any other debugging info that might help me track down what’s
   causing the error? None of my code should be touching anything on widgets.php
   but it’s obviously affecting something when the widgets try to execute.

 * The only error generated is: <b>Fatal error</b>: Exception thrown without a stack
   frame in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b>
 * This is in the <div class=”widget-content”> section by itself. Not much help.

 * Thanks…yeah, not much help with that. Haha
 * Do you have access to your server’s error log?
