 * It looks like the new WP 3.3 media uploader has broken the plugin. When I try
   to upload an image it just ends up on a blank screen and won’t upload the image
   or insert it into the widget.

 * It was working fine for me on WP 3.3, but I just made a push to 3.2.9 which _might_
   fix your issue. Update, clear your cache, and see where you’re at. It could also
   be a clash with another plugin.

 * I agree with jzimmer76. I’ve been using the Image Widget (nice plugin BTW) with
   WP v3.2.1 without problem.
 * I upgraded to WP v3.3 today. The Image Widgets that were already setup prior 
   to updating still work though the [Change Image] button is no longer functional.
   When adding new widgets the [Add Image] button does not seem to work (which is
   kind of a problem 😉
 * Everything I’ve got is up-to-date. I’ve cleared my cache as you’d suggested. 
   I’ve disabled all other plugins to test for conflicts, but I still can’t get 
   Image Widget (v3.2.9) to work with w/ WP 3.3.
 * I assume this is related to the changes made to the Media Uploader in v3.3.
 * …oh, and I just checked for JS errors and I noticed on line 95 (image-widget.
   js):
    `tb_show("Add an Image", event.target.href, false);` the event object you’re
   using is named `ev` not `event`. After changing `event.target.href` to `ev.target.
   href` the plugin works again. 🙂

 * Whoops! Thanks for the heads-up hasktoken. Looks like I had an issue with caching
   myself making it work instead of break!
 * Just pushed out 3.2.10 – should resolve that.

 * Hello, the “add image”-button is still not working. Does someone fix the problem?(
   I already reinstalled the plugin)
 * Thanks!
    … I am now using another plugin called “simple image widget” and it 
   works.

 * [@mister](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mister/) 1: 1) clear your browser’s
   cache. 2) provide your current version of WP and which browser you use. Can’t
   be of much help without those.

 * [@matt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matt/) Wiebe, I see that you are 
   the developer for the plug-in for image widget.
 * I am frustrated out of my ears at this moment. Yes, I have the problem too.
 * Yes, I already have the latest version of the plugin and still there is problems.
 * If you can – take a few minutes, go to [http://www.pchiccups.co.za](http://www.pchiccups.co.za)–
   yes, it is my site, open it up in Internet Explorer or Firefox, you will then
   see what happened on the home page.
 * It works fine on my blog, under our articles.
 * You need to help, it is really frustrating and there isn’t really any other plugin.
 * If you can, please mail me from my site.
 * Thanks
    Tim

 * Me, too. It worked before updating to 3.3 Now, nothing happens when I click the“
   Add image” button. I cleared the cache of the browser and WP. Am using Firefox.
 * Is a fix coming, Matt? Thanks!

 * Hey folks. I have no idea why this wouldn’t be working for anyone – it works 
   without issue for me under WP 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 in all the browsers under the sun…
 * As with all plugin-related issues, try deactivating other plugins to see if one
   of them is causing a conflict.
 * Anyway, I made an update that might help. 3.2.11 should be live any moment.

 * What I am doing:
    1. Latest WordPress 3.3 2. Latest version of plugin – updated
   few hour ago 3. Firefox 4. Internet Explorer

 * This screen shot was took in Firefox 7.01
 * As you can see of the first picture uploaded – look on the right hand side, the
   Facebook Logo is of (out of the widget)
 * All the other is correct because that is not your plugin that we are using at
   the moment. The first logo is your plugin and look what is happening.
 * How can we get the problem and you not?
 * p.s. Yes, I did deactivated the plugin and activated it again and still problems!
 * HELP please.

 * It does not work for me. I tried everything in this post, have the latest upgrade,
   cleared cache, etc – nothing. I can’t edit anything so am at a total loss. Guess
   I’ll need to find a new image editor, which really bums me out. But I can’t not
   have something on my website for widget images.

 * Could this have something to do with PHP versions? I had the widget working perfectly
   on my local machine (running 5.3.6), then pushed the site to my live server (
   which runs version 5.2.17) and am now getting this issue.

 * The app is great in concept, but unless you leave the image as a link, it won’t
   work. If you leave the title blank, it leaves a list item dot. I just need the
   plugin to display an image using nothing other than simple html image tags. Leaving
   the other things blank simply doesn’t work.

 * Hi and thanks for this simple and great plugin…
 * I now want to use it on a fresh installation of WP 3.3.1…The ‘add image’ function
   will bring u to the Media Library…but there is no ‘insert to post’ option for
   any image…No other plugins installed.
 * Any advice…?
