 * I just discovered it’s the pgi inventory plugin that’s doing it. It works again
   once I deactivate it. Any idea what could be causing it or how I can fix it?

 * It looks like there is a conflict with another plugin you are using. Try to rename
   the function in line 62, which might work…
 * Let me know if you could debug it, so I will consider fixing it in the next release.

 * I was having the same problem. Got if fixed by this below:
 * Changes on the line 62 from `add_action("widgets_init", function () { register_widget("
   MetarWidget"); });`
 * to: `add_action(‘widgets_init’, register_metarwidget’);
    function register_metarwidget(){
   register_widget(“metarwidget”); }`

 * yes, I fixed it by changing the last line to:
 * add_action( ‘widgets_init’, create_function( ”, ‘register_widget( “MetarWidget”);’));
 * I’m trying to format the function so it looks like other widgets with a title,
   etc. now.
