If you hover your mouse to the right of the + symbol it will work and duplicate… But since I was designing this website for a client I had to find a fix so they could click the actual + symbol. I ended up fixing this issue by adding some CSS so now you can hover over the actual + symbol. Here’s the fix. add this to your functions.php. Minor CSS fixes it. function custom_admin_css() { echo '<style type="text/css"> .widget-top a.widget-action, .widget-top a.widget-action:hover { padding: 1px; display: inline-block; } </style>'; } add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_css');

This plugin worked great, but now when I add a widget to a sidebar for the first time it gets added twice and when I click on the plus sign it just opens the widgets settings… :-/

As the prior reviewer said “I have the + next to all widgets, but clicking that just opens up the widget settings.”

Worked great, but then along the way now it does not. I have the + next to all widgets, but clicking that just opens up the widget settings. Not sure what’s going on, but would give this 5*s if it work would again 🙂 cheers, Jigs
