As I said in my post about CP5, Movable Type has its own set of quarks. I will be using this post to document them as best as I can. This is more for my staff at The BG News, but may be useful for anyone else who is working with MT. For reference I have MT 4.24 Pro installed currently.
  • If you modify a Widget, you need to open the Widget Group that the Widget is associated, and save the Widget Group. Not a pain, but worth a mention. I just created a Daily Archive mapping for Sports and when I went to rebuild, it threw an error on a widget that had its name and content changed. The name change may have been the culprit.
