Why do only the first 12 of my widgets work on my thesis theme? I wanted to use the text widget more than once, too.
Thank you for any help you can give.

So I’ve tried making a widget on a client’s thesis installation (Thesis 1.6, WordPress 2.92) . In this widget the client can select a class that they want to be applied to the widget. The classes are contained in a dropdown list. When they select the class and hit save the page renders correctly (that is the class is applied to the li.widget. Unfortunately when they hit save the option in the drop down box reverts to the default – even thought the page itself renders properly.

Do you have a suggestion for making the option selected from the drop down persistent in the widget option dialog?
