Title: [Plugin: Dynamic Widgets] dynamic widget 404 error still Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Dynamic Widgets] dynamic widget 404 error still * Resolved [thanp73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanp73/) * (@thanp73) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/) * Hi- * I love(ed) this plugin but can;t make it work any more- when i click on static or dynamic in the widgets box, i go to 404 error. this is in multiple themes, multiple sites. On the sites where it was configured and working, it no longer works, and i can not edit it as the 404 keeps coming. * I’d be happy to share more details with the developer and appreciate any assistance- the changelog says this 404 error was resolved, but unf for me, it’s not. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dynamic-widgets/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dynamic-widgets/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Contributor [Qurl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qurl/) * (@qurl) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033108) * Hi, * That’s not good. 🙁 I’ve got a couple of questions: * – Any idea what has been changed on the sites where it was working? – What is the URL you see behind the ‘Dynamic’ or ‘Static’ link? – Does it work when you go to the settings page via ‘Dynamic Widgets’ under the ‘Appearance’ menu? * Thread Starter [thanp73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanp73/) * (@thanp73) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033111) * thanks for the fast response! Both sites are ones i’m updating, so both are newest WP version, 3.1.1 One is thesis v 1.8 theme, the other pagelines platform. The plugin does n;t work on either site, even with all plugins disabled, via the link in the widget field- goes to that 404 page. * however, thanks to your advice above, i can confirm that the plugin DOES work thru the appearance menu location- i’m embarrassed that i didn’t even know it was accessible that way! * the URL that i get to that shows as 404 via the link in the widget pane is `' hxxp://www.DOMAIN.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=dynwid-config&action=edit&id=abc- 3&returnurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.DOMAIN.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fwidgets.php'` * Plugin Contributor [Qurl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qurl/) * (@qurl) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033122) * Did you replace the actual domain with ‘DOMAIN’ in the URL? And also ‘http’ with‘ hxxp’? When I ignore both, I don’t see any problem with the URL. If you didn’t replace anything, please check your ‘General Settings’ in ‘Settings’. * Thread Starter [thanp73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanp73/) * (@thanp73) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033125) * yeah, it is obviously http and my domain name. it just pops a 404 error when i click on the link in dynamic widgets in the widgets screen and that is the url that comes up. * `http://www.immediateannuitypro.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=dynwid-config&action =edit&id=abc-3&returnurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.immediateannuitypro.com%2Fwp-admin% 2Fwidgets.php` * Thread Starter [thanp73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanp73/) * (@thanp73) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033126) * what settings should i be looking for in general settings? * Plugin Contributor [Qurl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qurl/) * (@qurl) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033135) * I was wondering if the ‘WordPress address’ and ‘Site address’ are correct. But it looks like they are? * Is the URL behind the ‘Dynamic Widgets’ link under the ‘Appereance’ menu [http://www.immediateannuitypro.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=dynwid-config](http://www.immediateannuitypro.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=dynwid-config)? * Thread Starter [thanp73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanp73/) * (@thanp73) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033147) * no- when i hover over the link in the appearance menu it is domain.com/wp-admin/ widgets.php * the link in the widget itself- to dynamic or static, is `http://www.immediateannuitypro. com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=dynwid-config&action=edit&id=abc-3&returnurl=http% 3A%2F%2Fwww.immediateannuitypro.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fwidgets.php` * Thread Starter [thanp73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanp73/) * (@thanp73) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033149) * thanks again for this speedy support! * Plugin Contributor [Qurl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qurl/) * (@qurl) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033182) * I’m puzzled…. All links look OK-ish, no sub-directory problem (that was actually the previous 404 issue). * Have you tried another widget? * When you go to the ‘abc-3’ widget (sorry, I only got the ID, don’t know exactly which widget it is) via the ‘Dynamic Widgets’ settings page and hit edit (link should be: domain.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=dynwid-config&action=edit&id=abc- 3). Does that work? * Thread Starter [thanp73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanp73/) * (@thanp73) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033205) * yeah, i can hit edit from that page, in fact that is the one i was seeking to display on posts only, and was successful using this appearance route to the dynamic controls. * the edit link on that appearance page for that widget is `http://www.immediateannuitypro. com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=dynwid-config&action=edit&id=abc-3` and works just fine.. as do other widgets, but only if i control them thru the appearance>dynamic widget panel. * same thing going on on my other site (which is hosted somewhere else, FWIW widget level access to dynamic controls goes to 404, but appearance>dynamic widget level access is just fine * thanks for looking at it! * strange stuff * Plugin Contributor [Qurl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qurl/) * (@qurl) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033221) * Looks like the issue is related to the last part of the URL: &returnurl=url * Now that’s weird! I can only think of one possible problem down there. I’m going to change a few things there, see if that fixes the problem. I think I have something for you tomorrow. Will let you know when I’m ready. * At least you can edit the settings now. * Thread Starter [thanp73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanp73/) * (@thanp73) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033244) * thanks so much- i’ll stay on this thread- again, thx for being so responsive! * Plugin Contributor [Qurl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qurl/) * (@qurl) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033410) * Ok, I’ve changed something in the link. See if that helps. Also it made me find a minor security issue. So, that’s fixed also. 🙂 * Anyway, development version 1.4.0.11 is ready for download [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/dynamic-widgets.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/dynamic-widgets.zip) * Thread Starter [thanp73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanp73/) * (@thanp73) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033425) * Thanks Qurl-that fixed it on both sites!! * fantastic support- i am so happy to have this working fully again- thx! * Thread Starter [thanp73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanp73/) * (@thanp73) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-dynamic-widgets-dynamic-widget-404-error-still/#post-2033426) * $ sent too via paypal- thx!
