Title: [Plugin: Widget Logic] Doesn’t play well with PHP Code Widget Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Widget Logic] Doesn’t play well with PHP Code Widget * [Driftless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/driftless1/) * (@driftless1) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/) * I’m running a PHP code widget (to run a customized RSS feed parser) and when I assign a Widget Logic statement to it, and click save, it pauses for a minute then completely DISAPPEARS from my Admin manage widgets page. (And disappears from my site too). * Hmmmm… I want to replicate this problem that plagued me for several hours yesterday, and now it appears to be working… So, I will leave this as a resolved question in case anyone else finds such a similar quirk… Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Thread Starter [Driftless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/driftless1/) * (@driftless1) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-902970) * Damn, I just had it happen again. * I had all my widgets working with logic. Then I added a “recent posts” widget, gave it a condition of !is_home() and *poof* my php-code widget disappeared. ( it had a condition of is_home() ) * I reloaded the php code widget, re-conditioned it, and now its working fine. For the moment. * Any thoughts? * (Sorry if this is a repost of my self-reply… connection is spotty and I think it ate my last reply…) * [alanft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanft/) * (@alanft) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-902974) * point me at the php code widget you are using and i’ll take a look. * Thread Starter [Driftless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/driftless1/) * (@driftless1) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-903147) * Thanks for the speedy assistance. * Its the widget by Otto: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/) * And I’m sorry I can’t provide more consistent examples of when it happens – it seems entirely random at this point. I’ll let you know if it shows any consistency. * Oh, and the PHP code I am running in the PHP Widget is a derivation of Google Calendar Feed Parser: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-calendar-feed-parser/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-calendar-feed-parser/) * Cheers * [alanft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanft/) * (@alanft) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-903156) * so you’re jsut putting `gcal_parse_feed();` in the widget? * the code used might be important as it might manipulate data that is used in the !is_home() – is that still the condition you are using/checking? * Thread Starter [Driftless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/driftless1/) * (@driftless1) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-903249) * Yeah – sorry, got busy on another project. * This random behavior seems to happen regardless of the conditional… (I think) I currently have the PHP Widget set to is_home()||is_page(‘foo’) * Or at least, I did… I just went to double check, didn’t change anything on any widget settings, hit ‘save changes’ just for the hell of it, and *poof* no more PHP widget. * Funny eh? Its been working for days on the site. And I just re-included the PHP code widget, re-assigned it the same (is_home()||is_page(‘foo’)) and saved it, and it works fine again. * So the results are consistently inconsistent 😉 * Hope that helps. * Oh – and I am just calling from the body of the widget. * [alanft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanft/) * (@alanft) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-903258) * well just to let you know i have witnessed a vanishing php code widget now. but try as i might i haven’t got it to happen a second time. will keep trying variations… * [alanft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanft/) * (@alanft) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-903259) * AHA. i might not have hit upon the same vanishing as you have, but i have hit on one instance of the PHP widget vanishing. * now i’m using the latest 2.7beta – but see if it’s the same on your 2.6. * add a PHP widget, set it up and hit save. * then click ‘edit’ to expand the control and check the settings, followed by ‘ cancel’ to fold it up again and hit save changes * it vanishes. with or without widget logic active. :-/ * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-903260) * Hmmm.. Does this happen only with the widget logic plugin as well? * The PHP Code widget is basically identical to the built-in Text Widget with one very minor modification (and renaming, of course), so there should not be any weirdness there. * [alanft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanft/) * (@alanft) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-903261) * i’m on the 2.7 beta, and with only your plugin active – nothing else – i get the same behaviour. this might not be the same as the behaviour that driftless is seeing, but it’s worth looking into anyway. * add a (built in) text widget, set title and body, click done add a execphp widget, set title and body, click done click save changes * all comes back ok showing both widgets. but * click edit and then cancel to expand and hide each widget and click save changes– the php widget vanishes. * Thread Starter [Driftless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/driftless1/) * (@driftless1) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-903326) * Aha! * Sorry – been uber-busy, but yes I think alan has nailed the sequence of events. I can replicate it consistently – the key is “edit – cancel – save” seems to nuke it. The standard text widget is unaffected. * And – it does it without widget-logic installed. So – this is not a widget logic bug, but a strange PHP code widget error… * Any thoughts Otto? * Thread Starter [Driftless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/driftless1/) * (@driftless1) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-903327) * Oh – and I’m using WP 2.6.5 with PHP Code Widget 1.1 Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Widget Logic] Doesn’t play well with PHP Code Widget’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [php code](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/php-code/) * 11 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Driftless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/driftless1/) * Last activity: [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-widget-logic-doesnt-play-well-with-php-code-widget/#post-903327) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
