 * It looks like there’s an issue with your theme. The widget titles HTML is messed
   up. Here’s what I found after inspecting:
 * `<h3class="otw-widget-title"reservation at="" opentable<="" h3="">`
 * Go into your theme and check how your sidebar widget titles are being handled.
 * Bottomline: theme issue, not the plugin.

 * I too was having the same problem and I don’t think this is a “theme issue” and
   maybe some bit of plugin review might be needed? I was able to fix the issue 
   by adding a specific css class for the widget “before_title” attribute.
 * **This should be valid but does not work:**
 * `'before_title' => '<h3>'`
 * **This is required and shouldn’t be:**
 * `'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">'`
 * In my opinion this is an issue with the plugin because not everyone needs, nor
   is it required to have this css class on the title element. All other plugins
   I’ve encountered work just fine and display the title without problems, I’m having
   to add this css class specifically for your plugin to work properly.
 * Bottomline: great plugin, however, this is a plugin issue not a theme issue.

 * Thanks for pointing that out blackboard. I’ll be sure to update the way the plugin
   handles widget titles in the next release.

 * Has this issue been fixed? I just installed the plugin and the title doesn’t 
   display be default. I’ve added a title widget above yours [on a client site](http://kauboigrillandsushi.com/menu/grill/).
   Awesome plugin and also dig how it’s responsive.

 * Hey illusiodesign – can you post the code that register’s that sidebar? I want
   to see how you are outputting the widget titles.

 * Hey there – the function I’m looking for should look like:
 *     ```
       register_sidebar( array(
       		'name'          => __( 'Sidebar 1', 'roots' ),
       		'description'   => __( 'Used with page template sidebar 1', 'roots' ),
       		'id'            => 'sidebar-1',
       		'before_widget' => '<section class="widget %1$s %2$s">',
       		'after_widget'  => '</div></section>',
       		'before_title'  => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
       		'after_title'   => '</h3><div class="widget-content">',
       	) );
       ```
   
 * I want to see how `before_title` and `after_title` are being used specifically.

 * Gotcha, here it is:
 *     ```
       register_sidebar(array(
       	'name' => 'Sidebar',
       	'id' => 'sidebar',
       	'description' => __('This is the default widget area for the sidebar. This will be displayed if the other sidebars have not been populated with widgets.', 'themetrust'),
       	'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="%2$s sidebarBox widgetBox">',
       	'after_widget' => '</div>',
       	'before_title' => '<h3>',
       	'after_title' => '</h3>'
       ));
       ```

 * Thanks! So the issue is you can’t get any title to display at all? Hidden or 
   not? Nothing displays for the widget. That’s why you’re using the text widget
   to output a title?

 * Yes, the title won’t display when using your plugin. So that’s the workaround–
   creating a title above and adjusting the bottom margin.

 * By the way, I purchased and installed the pro version and the title is displaying
   normally.

 * Good to know thanks, it should be fixed on the upcoming release now.

 * Just FYI, the free version still has title issues. I had to purchase the paid
   version to get it to show correctly. Not too cool.
