I have followed your guide and managed to create multiple instances of the plug-in and had then displayed them on different sidebars. But when I try to change the options on one widget on a sidebar ... the changes will automatically apply to all the instances of widgets on all other sidebars!? Do you have an idea on how to allow the plug-in handle multiple instances of widgets? Or ... Anyway, I have learnt a lot for the first time about Widget once read this guide. Thanks again Leon Hi
