After recent update – widget text editor defaults to white?

There’s probably a conflict with another plugin. Please check our FAQ about how to troubleshoot issues, and then post a follow-up here.

If you want to temporarily revert to the previous version 1.4.8 you may download it from here.

@wocmultimedia: Your problem seems different from the one reported by jezter6. It was problably better to open a separate thread.
The link you provided looks like an unmanaged domain, I suppose that you mistyped it.
Anyway I’ll try to take some compatibility tests with Revolution Slider. In the meantime you may revert to the previous version.

Please try to add temporarily the following snippets to your theme’s functions.php (or in a custom plugin):

function remove_bstw_wp_kses_post() {
	if ( function_exists( 'bstw' ) ) {
		remove_filter( 'widget_text', array( bstw()->text_filters(), 'wp_kses_post' ), 5);
	}
}
add_action( 'init', 'remove_bstw_wp_kses_post' );

I gave this snippet to the theme’s author cause I’m not able to do it but I made a test using the simple text widget in which I pasted the html code present in your visual text widget and the page works again. So I let the normal widget in place of your till you find a new fix.
Thank you for helping

I’m having the same problem. My youtube video does not show and the is a lot of white space in widgets.

I used the snippet above and the video is working but there is still a lot of white space.

Please update to version 2.0.3. It should fix the issues.

Don’t see the update in the dashboard.

Just check again. It should appear there soon, as it was published a few minutes ago.

Simple feedback In my case I have no changes, it still doesn’t work with rev slider.
I will report if theme’s author find another solution but still it is strange this problem with any kind of object that isn’t a simple text your widget doesn’t work.

It looks like the new version of BSTW has conflicts with some themes that add shortcode support to widgets, i.e. like this:

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

It’s just a matter of filter priorities that should be adjusted. I will release a fix for that.

Do you have a ETA on that fix.

I updated to 2.0.4 but still having some problems with some widgets.

Please view halfway down my homepage at the 3 boxes.

@mwilson1750 I took a look at your site. The 3 boxes look fine to me. Could you explain better what’s the problem?

The content is overflowing, it should not be outside the boxes. Everything was in side before the update.

Thank you for the new version, it fixed all my problems!!!
Good work, indeed, but I suggest to think before making another similar upgrade, maybe there’s no need to upset so may people around the world especially if your plugin is working perfectly even with latest wp version.

Again thanks for the good fixing.
