Integrating widgets into the core of WP seems to me to be a huge step backward. One of the things I love about Subtle is that with something like sidebar modules or Automattic’s WP Widgets, the site is infinitely customizable, and having the ability to just drag and drop widgets anywhere is priceless — and it’s also one of the reasons why I refuse to update past the 2.1 series of WP. I think they’re really going in the wrong direction. In fact, 2.0.6 was the last WP release I actually liked. The problem isn’t with Subtle, it’s WP.

I would advise against upgrading to 2.3 if you plan to keep using Subtle. I’ve come to look at my theme as more than just the aesthetic groove to my site; it’s total control software.

Just upgraded to 2.3, seems this broke sidebar modules. (maybe prototype is deprecated?). Do you know of any recent fixes, or how to pull the latest sbm out of k2?

I installed both the sidebar modules and the one that disables 2.2’s built in widgets and everything worked fine – until now. For some reason I can no longer ‘move’ my modules and I don’t recall changing anything that could have triggered this. Any ideas?

Sidebar Modules don’t seem to be working at all with WP 2.2 I tried using the “fixed” version, and the plugin appears broken. Can anyone guide me here?

I am using your subtle theme. Since the widget for sidebar is on the brink, I found the codex for inserting the blogrolls into my sidebar.php — now, I need to find the codex for “recent comments.” I search the docs in wordpres.org without sucess of finding it.

The reason the SBM plugin is giving the ‘You must specify a valid module name’ error is that it uses the version of the Prototype library bundled with Wordpress, which is much newer than the version of Prototype that SBM was written for.

I’ve updated the SBM plugin, which you can download from here: http://dynamicflash.com/downloads/misc/sbm-fixed.zip

For those interested, the fix involved disabling the form *after* using the Prototype library to get the form data, as it turns out that Prototype ignores disabled form fields when gathering data.
