I figured it out. When I edited the config.php BEFORE creating the # of widgets under plugin settings, it worked.

I suppose I was trying to edit already-created widgets, and misunderstood how the plugin worked. Anyways, solved! Hopefully this discussion proves helpful to someone trying to figure out the same thing later. Thanks so much for your prompt help slushman.

Nope, still not working. Perhaps something I tinkered with is messing it up. Now that I know I should have edited config.php I’ll delete and reinstall and see if that does the trick.

All I’d like to do is change what it says in English, and just edit it so it’s a shorter read. I mistakenly thought the languages file might be the only way to edit the description. Apologies for any confusion.

Thanks so much for your reply! Oh, strange, I did find it within the Custom section of the config.php, but changing it didn’t have any effect. Do I need to enable the custom descriptions somewhere?

I wasn’t intending to use .pot translations to edit this description, but it seemed like maybe it was the only way to accomplish what I was trying to do. Glad that’s not the issue! Thanks again for your help.
