 * I’m experiencing problems with it too in 3.5.
    Just got to Text area and won’t
   allow Visual tab to activated or use icons.

 * I’m using WP 3.5, WYSIWYG Widgets 1.2 and Ultimate TinyMCE 3.9 and I found out
   how to make it work (it’s weird):
 * 1. Insert the WYSIWYG widget to the sidebar (don’t type anything yet)
    2. Press
   Save 3. Reload the Widgets page 4. Type whatever text and format you want in 
   the WYSIWYG widget using the visual editor, but don’t save it yet 5. Switch from
   the Visual editor to the Text editor 6. While in the Text editor mode, press 
   Save
 * This works for me.

 * Hi webvitality, ottomek and athemus,
 * I was aware of the compatibility problems with WYSIWYG Widgets so I’ve decided
   to take a different approach. I’ve complete rewritten the plugin and everything
   is guaranteed to work now. Please try updating to version 2.0 (back-up your existing
   WYSIWYG Widgets first) and let me know how that worked for ya.

 * Great! Thanks for the update this is now working for me and I like the changes
   you did, much easier to create the widget info then display where ever I want.

 * Thanks, Danny! The update (an upgrade, IMO) is great. I prefer this new method
   of creating the widgets. I can keep track of them much easier and use them more
   than once. It also keeps the widgets page cleaner. Good work.
 * I wanted to donate to you (I’m Canadian), but Paypal won’t give me a proper choice
   for ‘province’ — just US states. I don’t want a PP account either. I’m trying
   to figure that out.
 * For those considering upgrading, please remember to SAVE EACH WYSIWIG WIDGET 
   beforehand! You’ll lose them otherwise.
