Hi Sakin,
When I’m in my backend in the widget panel, I can only see the names of the widgets in the main sidbar, but not the titles. For example, I’m using couple of text widgets, and they are only named “text widget” – which makes it a lot of work to find out which one is the one I want to edit.
I searched all over the web today, and I have a feeling, that other people see a title after the name of the widget (I’m using titles!). Is that true, and if so, how can I change this so I also know which widget contains which content?
Thanks a lot,
Michaela

@Michaela: It’s depend on the widget you have added in and also the title you have given in the widget. For example: if you add “Recent Posts” widget to your site sidebar. Then it will show you option to Add in Title. If you add that title then it will show your widget as “Recent Posts: Your Title name” otherwise it will just show as “Recent Posts”.

Ufortunately, it doesn’t depend on the widget. I use mainly “text” and “image widget” widgets. All of them have a title which is visible on the front-end, but not on the back-end. The only thing I see in my widget panel is “text” or “image widget”. No clue about the title, which makes it a frustrating search to find the one you want to edit.

@Michaela: It’s work fine when I check in our server with Catch Kathmandu theme, maybe you have plugin or script that is blocking that. We will not force widget like that and we are not allowed to do that as per WordPress.org theme review guideline. So, try disabling plugin one by one to check in if that’s plugin issue. If it’s still not working then let me know it then I will email you to check in details.

Hi Sakin,
I disabled my plugins one by one, and the widget titles are still not showing in the back-end. I searched the whole internet for help, but it seems I’m the only one with this issue? Could you help please?
Thank you so much in advance,
Michaela

@Michaela: Yes, this is strange. We haven’t seen this issue. Ok I will send you email and you can let me know there.
