Item #2 in my original post has not been addressed so I am leaving this open. (The private details on this thread are old – by two generations).
That said, the widget issue I mentioned is critical and clearly a problem with your plug-in, so please focus on that first. And this thumbnail problem a lower priority. I can fake it for a few days with this problem., With the widget problem, I have nothing I can even pretend to deliver. Adriano, will you please look at that. I just set up ftp to that folder. There has been dashboard access for days and nothing has happened at all.
Thanks for your help
