As you can see in my sidebar I have a widget showing my Amazon Wishlist. Now I don’t expect everyone to run out and buy this stuff for me (but do feel free to do so), but I would like my widgets to work.
The plugin/widget in question is the AVH Amazon plugin. As you can see it appears to work, but that is only on the outside. Inside WordPress it’s not so pretty. Once I’ve installed the plugin and added its widget to my sidebar I lose the ability to edit any of my sidebar widgets – they don’t even show up on the page for managing widgets…
They just aren’t there.
If I deactivate the plugin, control comes back.
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
