Newsmag not saving Homepage widgets

Hi @ian-erlwanger,

could you please send a screenshot of your widgets backend? I’m looking to learn more about the widgets you’re trying to add to Newsmag’s homepage.

Thanks,
Cristian.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

I just want to note the screenshots are after I restored Newsmag to version 2.2.1 which doesn’t seem to have the problem. I’m able to use any widget in the Homepage – Content Area section.

Here is my widgets backend:

Hi @ian-erlwanger,

I’m afraid that this is actually intended behavior. When we designed Newsmag, we struggled to keep it as flexible as possible while also offering widgets (solutions) that nicely integrate with our design. Allowing users to add external widgets, meant a broken design experience. Something we wanted to avoid with our products.

That being said, we’ll be adding a filter that’ll easily allow you to disable the widget limitation on the back-end in the next version of Newsmag. Scheduled to be released by the end of this week.

Thanks,
Cristian.

Alright, thank you for the great theme regardless.

Hi @ian-erlwanger,

thank your for choosing Newsmag to power your projects.

Hi @ian-erlwanger,

you can use this:

add_filter( ‘newsmag_widget_filtering’, ‘__return_false’ );

Add the above code in your functions.php, last line. Widget filtering will then be disabled. Before that, make sure you have updated Newsmag to 2.3.2

Just saw this. Sadly it didn’t work for me.
