But don't know how to widgetize functions that need to be posted in posts or pages, for example [list_all_new,50,30,1] from somekind of activated plugin.

However, any new security vulnerabilities found for Wordpress & WPMU would need to be monitored and fixed quickly I'd imagine, as this plugin would probably draw in scum like flies if they thought they could gain access.

Next thing to try is disabling __ALL__ plugins except the Executable PHP one. If the problem is gone, try enabling them back again one or two at a time. When the problem returns, you'll know which plugin is the culprit. If the problem remains with ALL plugins disabled, does this issue occur with ALL users on this WPMU blog? Also, is your user set as an admin, or a different role? Finally, I'd head on over to the plugin author's site (see <a href="http://ottodestruct.com/blog" rel="nofollow">here</a>), specifically <a href="http://ottodestruct.com/blog/2006/04/09/fun-with-widgets/" rel="nofollow">this</a> post, as it was the last time I could find that he wrote a post regarding Executable PHP widget version 1.1 . Leave a comment explaining your problem, or try adding him as a friend on facebook or twitter (see widget in his left hand column), I knew there was an old post I had to look at somewhere :)

Anyway, quickest way to test would be to switch browsers IE<>FF . Can't remember if it was Internet Explorer or Firefox, but which ever you're using right now, try temporarily switching over, and see if the exact same problem replicates/mutates or dies. Failing that, have you searched for the author support forum/page? So, are you going to let us see this site :) PS Apologies for the delay in this reply, private life is a little hectic right now.

Which version did you upgrade FROM and TO? How did you upgrade - automatically or manually. You can see the plugin working on this site, especially where adverts only appear within certain categories... What were the actual errors you encountered? Which version did you upgrade FROM and TO?
