Taxonomies not showing in WP Dashboard Right Now widget
Moved from comment to answer: Inside your taxonomy registration code, ‘_builtin’ => true shouldn’t be set to true, that’s specifically for built in taxonomies only(you shouldn’t even be setting that arg) and also conflicts with your args array which specifically asks for a false value.
How to check if custom field exists in this widget query
I can’t test it now, but the following should work… query_posts(‘post_type=sponsors&meta_key=_vof_sponsor_level&meta_value=Gold’); if (have_posts()) : echo “<div class=”imageshadow sponsorwidgetslides”>”; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘url’, true) ) { ?> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/39982/<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID,”url’,true); ?>”><?php the_post_thumbnail(‘sponsorwidget’);?></a> <?php } else { the_post_thumbnail(‘sponsorwidget’); } endwhile; echo “</div><!–/.imageshadow–>”; echo “<a class=”widgetlink” href=””; bloginfo(“url’); echo “/sponsors’>View all Sponsors »</a>”; … Read more
Unique widget id in sidebar
No offense, but your code is a COMPLETE mess, so I’m just going to give you clean code and then tell you how to target it. register_sidebar( array( ‘name’ => ‘Post Sidebar’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” class=”widget widget-%2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<div class=”titlediv”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</div>’, ) ); Then to target the title … Read more
Post Thumbnails on Sidebar Widgets
There is no ability in the default widget, you will need to use third-party plugins to acheive your goal. Here are some that I have found. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-recent-comments/
Alternative for is_taxonomy() to workaround theme’s default sidebar
The function that replaces is_taxonomy() is named taxonomy_exists(). Than there’s also is_tax() and is_tag() that check if the query is for a taxonomy archive page. EDIT $selected_sidebar_replacement == ‘0’ || $selected_sidebar_replacement == ” won’t work. You’re not checking the type. Better do it like this: if ( ! $selected_sidebar_replacement OR emtpy( $selected_sidebar_replacement ) )

(!empty($value) ? ‘ checked=”checked” ‘ : null) . ‘value=”1″ name=”publish_in_frontpage” /> Publish to frontpage</label>’ .'</span></div>’; }
iframe/embed vid in text widget loads outside container and moves around when scrolling the page?
I tried Chrome, IE9 and IE8 all without a problem and even on a slow Starbucks connection. But it might help to give height and width attributes to all the images above to prevent the page from cascading. The second problem (i.e. the object jumping during scroll) I think is simply an IE rendering flaw … Read more
Imported blog page layout messed
Look at your browser source code; the bad code has to do with a plugin called wpui-related-posts. Do you have that activated? You can find/replace the code with a plugin called Search RegEx. Use grep to match the strings and delete it all.
