 * Hi there,
 * I believe I’ve figured out specifically when the plugin fails on my end. Here
   are the steps (assume that I already have some widgets working with widget context):
    1. I drag a new widget into the sidebar.
    2. I enter some settings for that widget via widget context. E.g. I set the drop-
       down to “Show on Selected”, I check a few boxes, and I enter one URL).
    3. I click “Save” to save the widget.
    4. If I then refresh the page, all of my widget context info for all widgets is
       suddenly gone. Oh no!
 * I’ve found that the only way to prevent this from happening is by clicking “Save”
   immediately after I drag the widget into the sidebar, before I’ve entered any
   widget context info. This is a risky preventative, however – what if I forget
   to do that?
 * So, any thoughts on when this’ll be fixed? Thanks!
