Nice interface. :) It would be nice to see a version of this that you could hook into any available widget, similar to what john was suggesting. Totally understand the reason you focused on one specific idea to launch this plugin, maybe keep it in mind though! It’s widget_logic on steroids!

I don't have access to a windows server when I first worked on the plugin so I didn't test it - turns out there are some Windows specific bugs involved. However, that has been fixed as of version 3.0.2. May I ask what version of the plugin are you using? (Check the Plugins admin panel) If you are using a version >= 3.0.2 then I would have to look into that problem again. Hi Tom,

This allows us to build a richer, dedicated UI into the widgets panel without having to worry about potential conflicts with other plugins. This should make it a lot easy to maintain and add new fetures down the road. However, in this new version, we have enabled shortcodes support in the widget body. This makes the plugin VERY flexible and extendable. For example, to accomplish what you are trying to do in a Section Widget, all you need the PHP shortcode plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-shortcode/). After installing that plugin, displaying the spam count is just a matter of putting "[php]akismet_counter();[/php]" in your section widget. Again, thanks for the feedback! Godfrey Hello John,

Does this plugin add section settings for all widgets or just itself? I would like to have Akismet spam counter displayed only on the homepage. Great plugin.
