Hello Everyone,
Thanks to all those who either left comments or sent me email about the issues with WordPress v2.8 and v2.8.1. I may not have had the time to reply to everyone yet, but I do read them all.
You’ll all be happy to hear that the Page Blocks plugin v1.0.3 is now compatible with versions of WordPress up to and including v2.8.1 and is now downloadable from the WordPress Plugin Directory at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-blocks. I’ve tested it on a stock standard installation of WordPress with no other plugins and using the default Kubrick based theme, so if you install it on your site and it still doesn’t work properly then please contact me using the contact form at http://wordpress.softwud.com/contact-us.
For those interested it seems that the guys at WordPress.org have made numerous changes going from v2.7.1 to v2.8… which is good for users. However the behaviour of some WordPress functions has been changed causing the plugin to behave incorrectly; these changes seem to be related to the new plugins security changes the new Widget API.
Thanks again for all the positive feedback… and stay tuned for some new features to be released soon!
Best Regards,
Paolo

You’re doing some cool stuff Paolo. Can’t wait to try this out in some different sites to see how I might use this to best effect.
Has anyone documented any of the css settings and results that can be achieved in conjunction with this plugin?
I’d like to see some examples, and share my own.

I have new compability issues with Page Blocks 1.0.3 and WP 2.8.2.
Page Blocks are visible on every page wether they have a tick or not.

Pekka, this is exactly my problem as well. I am using the bottom left and bottom right page blocks, and they appear on every page: http://www.renoweststreetmarket.com
Only one page has the checkmarks for the page blocks to appear, though. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi Paolo,
Thanks so much for the plug-in. I’ve encountered the following error when installing on a clean install version 2.8.4:

Hello,
I have the same problem as Peakka and Kristy with 2.85.
I am using Page Blocks and recently upgraded to WordPress 2.85. Now, the widgets displayed on whichever page was last edited in the admin console display on EVERY page.
If, for example, I add Widget1 and Widget2 to the bottom page blocks on Page1 those two widgets will display on EVERY page.
