I’m not seeing any SP widgets in my appearance/widgets admin area, even after the plugin is installed and activated. Latest version of Genesis and Agency child theme. WP 3.8.2
you added the template tags plugin as an sp plugin, not wp plugin, right?
will look like image below (note its wp 3.9 widget UI)
yes- added as sp plugin. shows active in sp.
negative – does not show up in wp widget UI.
any chance its in the inactive widget section below? never had anyone where it didnt activate… if not, can you check the error log for any hints?
I wish it was…but it ain’t. 
Killed all plugins – didn’t help.
I did see an error in the log – any way to go private here? Or, I can send the error via email.
you can send via pm if you like… but be sure to send to myself and yellow swordfish…
You can use a private message if you prefer. Please send your PM to both myself and to ‘Mr Papa’. Please include in the PM a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem.
Figured it out.
Looks like I had a copy of the plugin already. When I downloaded the file again, it added (1) to the end of the filename (before the extension: filename(1).zip
So, when I chose that file to upload and install, sp choked. It showed the file was instaled in the CP, but the error log said the directory couldn’t be found.
Deleted the plugin from the CP, reinstalled the correct;y named plugin and it works fine – the widget is there now.
Seems like this could be an issue for more people…
Thanks for the help..and the kick-a## product!

Not sure what CP is… but yes, this is a limitation of the wp uploader… if the archive or directory already exists, wp appends a -x (x is number) to it… have tried to change the behavior of the wp uploader, but short of just rewriting all the code, not much we can do… though I thought in the latest version we tried to prevent activation of the plugin or something.. will have to look back…
ah, my bad… its due to be released in next version which should release next week with wp 3.9…
maybe I am being obtuse, but do you mean the wp admin when you say control panel? or the actual server control panel… lol, not sure why I am asking – not really important! 
No way – gotta be clear about this stuff.
I meant that the SP Control Panel showed that the plugin was properly installed and activated.
It wasn’t until I looked at the log file (via the SP Control Panel) again that I realized it was a DIR error.
