@seo-dave, I understand that you want to drive traffic to your plugin by bashing mine, but let’s try to work together instead of pointing fingers and blaming others, can we? I decided to take over this plugin simply because I used for a while, and seeing that the original developer was not updating it anymore made me think about the potential that this feature could have, and how it could be improved. I did it with no short term plan to make any money, it’s basically just the same passion that drives thousands of developers around the world to contribute to the open source community. So, with this in mind, can we collaborate and work together on improving the plugin instead of doing what you’re doing? Thank you!

Yes unfortunately there was a huge bug with one of the widgets we activated. Basically we had a few requests off certain people asking if they could show certain widgets to certain countries.

In the last update it was checking the ip of EVERY VISITOR with no option to turn off the feature. Now this is fixed and it is deactivated by default, and can be activated by a click of a button :).

Also it was downloading the full maxmind database, now if you have the feature enabled it uses external API (ip2location) instead.

Hope you like it ?? Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi,

It is due to the geolocation code conflicting with another plugin. We are updating the code today, so if you simply update later and on the setting page click the “Turn Geo Off” it will be like normal :).

Sorry for any inconvenience. Simply check the new update today.

Thanks

Hi Jos,

Sorry about this, we are releasing a update today to stop this and make it optional (which it should of been at the start).

Simply just update this plugin.

Thanks

Kev

You’re very welcome!

Great, thanks!

Hi,

please see if this works:

1. add any widget to your sidebar
2. click the SAVE button
3. the display options should appear soon after you save
4. check the options/pages you like
5. save again

Let us know.

Hey @seo-dave,

thank you for mentioning your fork. Would you be interested in having your code merged into the main plugin so that we can join forces and make this plugin better for all 200k users! Please let me know if you would like to discuss future partnerships.

Hi @mercedeswpml,

as the new dev team for Display Widgets, we are more than interested in collaborating with you to fix any compatibility issues related to this plugin and WPML. Let me know how to best connect to work on a solution.

Thanks!

Hi Audept,

I’ll take a look a this today and then maybe perform another update to repair.

Many Thanks
