How to Fix Revver Multiple Widget 404 page Error

I have a separate site where I run 2 Revver widgets.  These are scrollable video lists that reside in my sidebar.  A user can click on the video thumbnails and a video overlay pops up where someone can watch my Revver video.

THE PROBLEM with more than one Revver Widget Installed on the same Page

So the problem, is that I had 2 widgets on my site.  The second batch of videos worked just fine, but the first batch, did not.

When you clicked on a thumbnail video from the first list, it attempted to load the video and then redirected to a 404 page error.

The culprit was not exactly obvious, but not completely hidden from view either.

Example of Error

The FIX of this Multiple Widget Revver Installation Error

If you install more than one set of widget code, copying and pasting the widget code into your site like this:

widget-error-revver

There’s a code tip from Revver that mentions that the first line of the javascript can not exist twice or more on the same website page.

So make sure you delete all subsequent lines of this code and your widgets should work.

widget-error-revver1

Phwew, now that I have that fire put out on my own site, I can get back to troubleshooting some problem with one of my laptops that is bugging out on actual video production due to a ram issue ~ XP only recognizes 3 gigs instead of the 4 gigs that is installed.
