[wp-hackers] Prevent display of dynamic sidebar in widgets.php

[Andy Charrington-Wilden]

Hi Nacin

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure what you mean though. Could you please elaborate a little?

I am successfully emulating the widgets page functionality in my plugin to allow assigning of widgets to sidebars. 

I'm not sure how using the widget call would work? 

Thanks!
