home widgets not working

Hi,

Yes they do work ?? Please see: https://themeid.com/forum/topic/849/wordpress-video-text-widgets/ and if you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks,
Emil

It’s not a text widget, though. One is supposed to show recent posts, and the other a search bar, but neither widget even appears at all on the page. Only the sidebars are there.

Right, the rules are the same, drag+drop and voila you’re done ?? Examples https://themeid.com/showcase

Did you find it, if not please let me know ??

Emil

Right, well I can’t drag and drop them, either.

In that case I would check your browser, clean the cookies, temps etc, close and restart as well. If you have any other browser, please try that as well, just to see if this is a browser-specific issue. Please note that this would happen with any Theme because widgets are part of the WordPress itself and something is preventing them to work properly.

If that doesn’t work, deactivate all plugins and check the widgets again and your last step is to switch back to Twenty Eleven Theme and go back to Responsive!

Thanks,
Emil

Okay, I got them to move around, but they still don’t show up on the main page. They are in the right place on the widgets page, though.

Please check Home Widget 1,2,3 like:

BTW what’s the URL?

I know that’s what it’s supposed to do. Obviously it’s not doing that because I wouldn’t be here if it were.

the url is fsuarchive.org

Oh, you’re not using default layout that’s why ?? Home widgets are available only if default home page is used. You can switch back and reverse, please see: https://themeid.com/forum/topic/537/reading-settings-changing-default-homepage/

Ohhhhh. I see.

Thanks!

Now is there a way to hide certain elements like the headline?

Sure, please see: https://themeid.com/forum/post/12044/#p12044

Awesome. Thanks for all your help!
