WordPress widget consuming a widget

  • Hi,

    I’m in need of help!

    I have created a wordpres widget that consumes a webservice, however when I upload this it doesn’t display the data. If another widget is added to the side bar below it it wont render, because the code seems to bomb out.

    I have no error message so finding it very hard to understand what is wrong.

    Before wrapping it in the relevant function to call in wordpress I tested the code and it runs perfectly and retunrs the relevent data.

    Can any one help me at all?

    Sorry I made a mistake in the title, meant to say want a widget to consume a webservice.
