    I badly need to activate a plugin twice in my wordpress website, I'm having a different scenario which I need the plugin for two different purpose. They have different setting that's why I need to have that plugin twice in my wordpress website.

    I'm no good in coding and I can't edit because I'm sure I'll mess it up. I tried uploading this plugin with two different folder names, I was able to activate the first one but when I tried to activate the second one I'm getting an error and I can't activate it.

    Is there a way to activate it twice?

    Thanks!

    Are you talking about Widgets? Can you specify the plugin url please? I may help you in customization.

    Best of luck!

    I know your pain. I just ran into this earlier this week. Activating a plugin twice is not possible within WP. What you are really needing is to be able to call multiple instances of the plugin within your site. Unfortunately from what I can tell, this cannot be done with this plugin. Since it contains a single options page, even if you could call another instance via some hack, it would show the same information.

    Perhaps there is someone out there who knows more than I do and has a solution I am not aware of, but as a theme designer who works exclusively with WP themes, I don't see a quick fox for this.

    Wish you well - Scott
