Hi Officewife,
If I’m reading your results correctly, it doesn’t sound like Widget Wrangler is the problem.
My interpretation of your results:
In test #1, you disabled Widget Wrangler on both sites, and the sites continually reloaded in the customizer.
In test #2, you disabled All in One WP Security, and the reloading stopped.
Test 3 and 4 seem inconclusive.
I think your problem is either:
A. Browser or browser extension (you don’t seem to have the issue outside of Chrome)
B. All in One WP Security
C. Conflict between All in One WP Security and Widget Wrangler.
As the developer of Widget Wrangler, if it is causing an issue I’d much rather fix it than have you stop using it.
I recommend:
1. Enable all the plugins you want to use, disable all your Chrome browser extensions, and test the site. If it does the reloading, then we can rule out extensions.
2. Enable all the plugins you want to use, and test the sites thoroughly in Firefox. If the issue doesn’t show up, then the problem could be Chrome.
3. Email me (or a forum mod) privately and give them administrator access to your sites, so they can test it with development tools.
My email address is not hard to find, but you may prefer to contact a Forum Mod. Your call.
If someone debugs the issue and finds that it is definitely Widget Wrangler’s fault, please have them contact me in some way about the issue and I will fix it.
