# Major Rewrite of Widget Context

**Update:** [Widget Context 0.8.1](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-context/) has been released that fixes the following issues:

- Widget context controls were not added to widgets that were created using legacy method.
- Word count context was not working correctly.

I am happy to announce **version 0.8** of [Widget Context plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-context/) which is almost a complete rewrite of the plugin. Many bugs have been fixed and new ones might have been introduced, so please use [this forum on WordPress.org](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-context) to report bugs and send your feedback. Patches and pull requests are more than welcome [on GitHub](https://github.com/kasparsd/widget-context-wporg).
