[wp-hackers] WP 2.2 Widgets Issue / Fix

[Martin Fitzpatrick]

Hi all,

I have been getting a lot of bug reports for one of my plugins under
Wp 2.2 using widgets. I know the call to install a widget changed to
remove some mucky code but since has been changed back to the original
way of doing it, with a release coming as 2.2.1(?)

Question is - if I change the plugin to fix the bug in 2.2, is that
going to break it when the next release (with the reverted widget
code) is installed?

I notice there is a fix here  http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4316
which could presumably be coded to only apply when number was not
being passed. Are there any other issues?

Thanks,

Martin
