Great Plugin, but error when saving widget combined with another Plugin!
by mickdom·6 years ago·2 replies
Hi,
your plugin crashes with another installed plugin “WPFront User Role Editor”. The whole widget area stops working as soon as I want to save your widget. Can you fix that?
Thanks in advance!

Wanted to add a video to the sidebar, but the wordpress video widget is simply not customizable and the video i added would go out of frame.
With this widget the youtube video i added fittet itself perfectly, no edit/customization needed. Just what i needed!

Liked the setup!

I liked the way it was setup. But it crashed all my other widgets. And to fix I had to restore the site. Deleting it did not fix what happened. But if you guys can get it to work on your sites, it’s the bomb of youtube widgets.
