techniQal support: My Wordpress Lijit Wijit (Widget)

  • John Dunham · 2 years ago
    Hi:

    Thanks for publishing this.

    I'm self-hosting WP 2.0.3. Uploaded myLijit.php into /wp-content/plugins directory and successfully "activated" in the "Plugin Management" panel. Clicked over to Presentation / Sidebar Widgets and mylijit widget was not in evidence. Thoughts? Is this the final straw that I need to upgrade to WP 2.2.x? Thanks in advance.

    This widget was specifically for WP 2.2.* . I will take a look and see if it is possible to get it working in 2.0.* I will update the post if I find a solution.

    An update to your issue John. I tested my plugin against WP 2.04, with the Sidebar Widget plugin from http://automattic.com/code/widgets/use/ .
    It worked fine for me.
    If the Lijit plugin is activated, you should see it listed in the "Available Widgets" section on the Presentation->Sidebar Widgets tab. You can then drag the "Lijit Wijit" box onto the sidebar area, and edit the section title and customize it with your lijit username.
    I couldn't find release 2.03 anywhere, so I wasn't able to test against that version.
    Good luck---I hope it works for you.

    hey, I am not sure exactly how to do this- probably because my husband is the one who installed the other buttons, etc to my site. I have a mac- are there different steps I need to take? Thanks for your help!

    Hey Molly--you have three options based on the wordpress version you are running.
    1. You can install the widget plugin (http://automattic.com/code/widgets/use/ ), and follow the instructions in the above comments.
    2. You can manually add the code for the lijit wijit by logging into your profile on lijit.com, and getting the code by clicking "My Search Wijit"->"Need to Install the Wijit?" .
    3. Worst option--upgrade to wordpress 2.2, and the widgets plugin is installed by default, so you can add the lijit wijit by following the intructions in the post.

    Having a Mac doesn't make a difference. The key, is having access to your wordpress installation, to be able to upload files.
