   “As this is a complete rewrite it is not compatible with older versions of Wordpress. ”
   It is only compatible with 2.8?
   I tried it on 2.6 and it didn’t work, so maybe I’ll need to update

   The new plugin only works with WP 2.8, because the API changed. If you’re on WP 2.6 I would recommend using the 1.3.2 plugin, which is the current plugin on the Wordpress site. When you move to WP 2.8+ though, you can upgrade to the newer plugin.

   Works nicely with WP2.8, thanks.
   I’m now able to use several PHP widgets, which I could not do with the previous version.

   Hi, I just upgraded Samsarin on my web site after upgrading to WP 2.8, because I found it was only allowing me one widget I figured I now needed an upgraded Plugin/Widget, and yup, that solved it. It’s working great, letting me run several widgets on that site. Thank you very much for a plugin I can’t do without, as I run several WP sites.

   FYI, I’ve installed your updated version on an install of WPMU 2.8.3, and the duplicate widget interface isn’t showing up.

   The single Samsarin PHP Widget is available to me in the list of sidebar widgets, but I don’t have the menu at the bottom of the page that allows me to provision multiple instances.

   Doh. Never mind. I just realized that when I add the widget, it’s still available to me to add to another sidebar.

   Sorry for the mistake!

   Great plugin, btw, and thanks for the upgrade!!

    Hello,

    Anyone able to get shortcodes working with this plugin? My shortcodes work with all other widgets. Samsarin Widget only returns the code, not the result of the code.

    Thanks,
    Jacob

    Hi,

    In the new version of samsarin, the php code in the title of widget doesn’t work, is it normal ?
    Thanks

    Sam,

    Thanks for pointing that out. That was a regression that came in 2.1 specifically. I’ve posted a 2.1.1 that should address that for you. You can get it at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/samsarin-php-widget/download/ once it is shows up (it usually takes about 20 - 30 minutes to post).

    Thank you for this update but why does the new versions don’t show on Wordpress.org ? The last version visible is 1.3.2 ???

    @Li-An

    For the moment you can get the latest plugin (2.1.1) here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/samsarin-php-widget/download/

    I left the version at 1.3.2 for now, because there is not a nice migration path from 1.3.2 to 2.x that preserves 1.3.2 widgets.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for your work, but I have a question.

    2.1.1 works with Wordpress 2.9.1 when I use basic PHP. However, the following code to display my latest Twitter tweet doesn’t seem to work. Any idea why?

    http://scriptplayground.com/tutorials/php/Latest-Twitter-Update-With-PHP/

    I know there are plugins to grab Twitter updates, but I’m trying to do it this way so I can include other code in the single widget to avoid messing up my Wordpress theme!

    Thanks,
    Darren.

    Hi, Chris!
    Just update my Samsarin Widget, and I can’t seem to find the option to choose # of Samsarin widgets, and the options to reset widgets or all.

    I’m using 2.9.2 by the way xP

    In the previous version (1.3 or something) once you deleted one widget, the could would remain… but since there’s no way to reset a widget, the code just disappears… is that a bug? Or did you get rid of that option? =(

    Hi Chris,

    I am trying to use the Featured Content Gallery plugin that is featured in the Studio Press Corporate theme. I want to move the FCG gallery to my sidebar widget and have been trying to make the samsarin plugin bridge the gap. so far no joy. I tested the FCG plugin in default position then copied the php code into the sam’ widget. the widget will appear but is unable to locate the images. Do you have any insights?

    I have contacted the author of the theme and they claim to be able to make it work. I followed their steps but couldn’t replicate.
