    I've searched everywhere but no post or answer regarding this...

    I installed latest 1.3 mu... I think text widgets are not working. After i drop in the widget, click configure button enter some text and click the 'X' mark, click save updates -- it says sidebar updated

    but when i goto the website i see nothing in sidebar, i went back to admin area and click on configure button and it doest have any information i entered earlier!

    please help!

    Is it just plain text? Javascript (such as webring code) will get stripped out.

    How many threads are you going to post this in?

    *sigh*

    Reading the readme.txt file included with your download, especially the bit about how to report problems and what information is needed, would also be a plus.

    just plan text, no code. i drag &drop text widget, enter title, body text, click X to close window, click save changes.

    clicked on view site and there is no widget in sidebar. if i go back to admin and the text i entered no longer exists in the widget. has anyone else tried out text widgets in 1.3?

    Yes, the base text widget that comes with 1.3 (its no longer in the plugins folder) works for me.

    I deleted everything and re-installed. The problem went away. The only thing I can guess is some plugin may have caused the issue, I will test this after each plugin and see if pops up again... thanks for the help!
