 * I am quite new to this and things have been working quite well, but now I appear
   to have 2 widgets the don’t play well.
 * The first is ClustrMaps, it’s a text widget using the html cut from their site.
   It works fine but any widgets on the sidebar after this text widget don’t appear.
   I used to deal with this by it being the last widget…..
 * Now I have another WP-Cumulus 1.23, this widget does the same thing, any widget
   after it does not appear, I tried to bundle both of these in 1 text widget without
   any luck.
 * I am using iBlog2 2.8.1 by PageLines as a theme and any thoughts would be great
 * site if anyone wants to see it in action is

 * you have one too many closing divs in your clustermap textwidget
 * at the moment, your cumulus actually appears at the bottom of your blog
 * PS same could be with your cumulus textbox 😉

 * Unfortunately I don’t have any div tags in the text box at all, and the WP-Cumulus
   is a prefab widget so I can’t tell, bu tit’s likely the exact same thing.
    The
   extra tags could come from The widget The Plugin The Theme Wordpress
 * Any thoughts on how I would find out where it comes from?
 * I added wp-cumulus to the tags in the hope that Roy will comment.
 * Thanks!

 * I have another blog, using a different theme. I loaded both of these widgets 
   there and find that WP-Cumulus works ok there but ClusterMaps does not. I guess
   this means I have extra div tags from two different sources.
 * Anyone else have this issue with clustrmaps?
 * I will see if I can raise the attention of pagelines 🙂

 * I’d recommend removing all widgets one by one and see if things work better with
   a certain one removed. WP-Cumulus is ‘allergic’ to html markup errors, so it 
   may well fail if some other element forgets to close a div. I’m pretty sure Cumulus
   closes all its elements, I’m usually quite careful with that.

 * the clustrMap code works works fine in a text widget in my blog (Protegidas theme).
   
   i still suspect that there is an extra `</div>` within your text widget, so could
   you please check the content of your text widget again and see if there is this`
   </div>` at the end (which i see in your html in my browser)- if yes, delete it.

 * There is the complete text of the widget.
 * Thanks Roy, as WP-Cumulus is working just fine in another blog using another 
   theme I am thinking it’s not the issue.
 * I tried moving all the widgets up and down but with iBlog2 2.8.5 neither work
   properly. I hope pagelines has a comment.
 * I may try a quick change to Protegidas theme just to see if that makes the diff.
 * Thanks everybody

 * Pagelines have come through
    You MUST have some text in the title field. Even
   just a space and everything is back to working.
 * Thanks guys

 * FYI, this is a problem with a lot of themes that use docking boxes. Docking boxes
   require a “handle” and “content” What happens is that in case of widgets such
   as the text widget if you don’t specify a title, the widget’s “before_title” 
   and “after_title” tags are not printed. This causes a div tag mismatch, because
   for the docking boxes you specify the handle in the title. The starting tag for
   the div for your content is in “after_title”, and dropping that element causes
   chaos.
 * When you have third-party widgets that do not print titles or don’t give you 
   an option to set a title, that is when the real fun begins.
 * This problem can be fixed by the theme developer by using JQuery. See here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267424?replies=6](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267424?replies=6)
