In reply to: [Widget Context] Strange Things Are Happening to Me…I have this widget installed on over twelve of my non networked sites and in each instance what thatsgame1 has perfectly described happens ALL OF THE TIME.
Totally Bogus, and the developer has not addressed this major BUG at all. Like Chris wrote it’s the best one out there so far, but the support lags – so sad; and too bad, because I’d pay for a better more reliable version of this plug in any day.
As described in previous postings by AMEEKER, rumple010 and debra.foesch the reliability of the Context Widget (CW) to maintain settings where multiple instances of a widget are configured on the same site really lacks. Seems the more CWs you create the more likely it will fail to maintain settings previously configured.
I have 3 sites with over twenty-five (25) unique CWs on each (and we are supposed to launch another five sites by the end of the summer).
Randomly targeted URLs will be dropped from the previously configured widget (it appears to have resets itself), or when attempting to create a new widget other previously used URLs will appear (as a default setting).
I have also noticed, simply opening a widget and then closing it (not saving or making any changes) will sometimes cause the widget to reset or take on the characteristics of the widget directly above or below it). The only work around for me is to delete it, and recreate it from scratch.
Looking forward to a serious update to this known bug (issue), otherwise I’ll have to migrate away as well.
I also am using WP 3.5.1 and Widget Context Version 0.8.1
