How can I include pay-later contributions in a widget thermometer?
This is actually easy, but totally hidden...


At the very end of the code for your widget, find the last &lt;script&gt; tag, which looks something like this: 

&lt;script type="text/javascript" src=""&gt;&lt;/script&gt;


where  is a very long URL.
Modify this URL by adding &amp;includePending=1 to the end.
Paste your modified widget code over the old widget code wherever you are using the widget.
Observe that pending contributions now affect the thermometer total, even contributions which have already been made.
