on all other sidebars!? Do you have an idea on how to allow the plug-in handle multiple instances of widgets? Or ... Anyway, I have learnt a lot for the first time about Widget once read this guide. Thanks again Leon This post was really helpful. Thank you! I do have a question though How do you add wysiwyg controls to a widget? I've tried taking apart a few old plugins -- but they don't use the new 2.8 widget class, so things get kind of messed up. They also seem to link to their own version of tinymce which doesn't make sense to me, since there is already tinymce bundled with wordpress... why not make use of that? Hoping you can help... I have been able to get tinymce to show up in a textarea of a widget -- but when I go to save the widget -- it doesn't seem to save the changes -- and then reverts the box back to the non-tinymce view. I'm beginning to think now that this may be some kind of issue with the widget class/feature itself -- because that just sounds REALLY odd... I'm not a fan of the wysiwyg editor myself -- but my clients can't do HTML -- so I need to have it there for them. Ok, despite the excellent tutorial, I don't get it. I've created a widget, but when I try to save it, it doesn't. It looks like it works, but it doesn't appear on
