I cleared all widgets and resaved via Theme Options. That seemed to do the trick. I didn’t need to update the code.

But – here’s the deal, the only widget that was used other than CT widgets was the WordPress supplied Text Widget (about as simple as you can get).

I do believe Theme users will need to be using widgets other than your Corpress Theme provided widgets. You should probably look at the standard way to handle widgets and publish an update for the Theme. Theme users will probably not want to be constrained to only what is included with the Corpress theme. A PHP widget for example is a classic example.

Thank you!
