Widget Voodoo 1.0.6
A quick note to Hackadelic Widget Voodoo users:
Here is a maintenance release that fixes an issue related to some rare widgets with uncommon HTML layout, where titles were collapsed as well. Get it as usual at wordpress.org.
Widget Voodoo 1.0.5 With WPMU Compatibility
Originally, Widget Voodoo wasn’t implemented with WordPress MU in mind. In response to an issue report in the forums, I’ve overhauled the way settings have been stored (the main cause of the issue on WPMU).
As a result, settings handling is more robust and more secure now. And, Widget Voodoo now works on WP and WPMU equally.
Grab the new version at wordpress.org, and have fun with it. 🙂
Widget Voodoo Release 1.0.4 Supports Variable Title Styling
Widget Voodoo morphs sidebar widgets into stylishly collapsible objects. The new release goes one step further in “stylishness” and adds support to variable styling of widget titles depending on the collapsed/expanded state of the widget.
A live example is right here on my blog – look for the “Archives” widget in my left sidebar.
Go ahead, get the newest version at wordpress.org. Then grab the CSS used to style it at the plugin homepage.
Have fun! And a happy Easter to everybody!
Widget Voodoo Release 1.0.3
The new Widget Voodoo release, 1.0.3, fixes a small (but annoying) misbehavior with the Tag Cloud widget.
Please update to the newest version to avoid future (bad) surprises.

Widget Voodoo 1.0.2 Release
A minor update of Hackadelic Widget Voodoo is out. It fixes an issue with the Tag Cloud widget (and probably with others, too).
At the same time, I’ve corrected an “impurity” in the assignment of CSS classes, where the “collapsible” was attached to the title, instead the widget itself. Please change your CSS clauses Read more >>
Widget Voodoo Configuration Tutorial Reanimation Attempt
According to feedback I’ve received, viewing the Widget Voodoo Configuration Tutorial was apparently problematic. I’m not even sure if anybody at all could watch the screencast, except myself. (I’m afraid that could well have been the case, though only view people complained, compared to the number of visitors.)
While the reasons for the issue remain a mystery, I decided to move the screencast away from googlecode, where I used to host it before.
Dear visitors, I’ll ask you for a favor. Please drop me a note whether you can watch the screencast or not. Thank you for your help.
Widget Voodoo CSS Selectors Power
I’m writing this post with a clear sense of pride about having chosen CSS selectors as “configuration syntax” for Widget Voodoo. The power and flexibility of the approach over other other, more limitting approaches is amazing.
Thank to this power, it was a “piece of cake” to resolve a help request on how to collapse al widgets at oncel I’ve got recently.
Widget Voodoo PlugIn Released
I’m proud to present the first public release of the “voodoo” that recently made all my sidebar widgets collapsible.
The plugin homepage gives a thorough overview of the features offered.
Downloads as usual at wordpress.org (as soon as they update the page).
