### [Works with this fix](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-with-this-fix/)

If you hover your mouse to the right of the + symbol it will work and duplicate…
But since I was designing this website for a client I had to find a fix so they
could click the actual + symbol. I ended up fixing this issue by adding some CSS
so now you can hover over the actual + symbol. Here’s the fix. add this to your
functions.php. Minor CSS fixes it. function custom_admin_css() { echo ''; } add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_css');
### [plus symbol simply opens widget – doesn't work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plus-symbol-simply-opens-widget-doesnt-work/)

Same behaviour as other users here: the “+” sign just opens the widget. It doesn’t
duplicate.
### [Something went wrong](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/something-went-wrong-16/)

This plugin worked great, but now when I add a widget to a sidebar for the first
time it gets added twice and when I click on the plus sign it just opens the widgets
settings… :-/

As the prior reviewer said “I have the + next to all widgets, but clicking that
just opens up the widget settings.”
### [Worked for awhile, very useful!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/worked-for-awhile-very-useful/)

Worked great, but then along the way now it does not. I have the + next to all widgets,
but clicking that just opens up the widget settings. Not sure what’s going on, but
would give this 5*s if it work would again 🙂 cheers, Jigs
