'Available Widgets' and 'Widgets Currently Used' doubling up in admin (blog page type) about silverstripe-widgets

Have you disabled widgets in the blogmodule? The blogmodule adds the widgetclass on its own (in case it is not available in your theme by default). So you might want to disable the widgets the Blog offers.

Hi @oceanmountain

I appears that you're correct, the widgets are being enabled by me (by extending the Page class as per the instructions in the README) and by the blog module. When I disable widgets in mysite/code/Page.php I get a single widget area on the Blog Holder in admin, but of course, there is now no longer a widget are on my standard pages.

Are you able to help me disable the widgets in the blog module, I'm not sure how to do that?

I've just done a bit of googling and came up with this 'solution'. In mysite/code/Page.php you only show the widgets tab in admin if the ClassName isn't BlogHolder.

I'm not sure it's the most elegant way of doing it though?...

public function getCMSFields() {
    $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
    if ($this->ClassName != 'BlogHolder') {
        $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Widgets", new WidgetAreaEditor("WidgetArea"));
    }
    return $fields;
}

I can't reproduce this any more on SilverStripe 3.6.0, feel free to reopen if this is still affecting you
