Widget not working, but shortcode is

  • I love this plugin! The only concern is with the widget not working. When I don’t use the widget and use a shortcode everything works wonderfully well. I can insert the widget and configure it (with the same setting I used in the shortcode). But when I view it on the front page of my site it is invisible. I have tried using the shortcode and the Widget side-by-side. The shortcode I can see but not the widget (actually now that I think about it the Title appears and that’s all).

    As I said, I still have the shortcode but the widget would be much easier. By way I am using both with Recurring events and I also use SiteOrigin’s page builder.

    This is weird. What it right now running in wp.smartcalc.org footer is a widget. This widget is configured using core WP appearence / widgets admin section. Maybe page builder affects it in some way (not sure if you can add widgets in page builder).

    Widget settings do not match shortcode attributes 1=1. If you followed https://wp.smartcalc.org/reference/ SMART COUNTDOWN FX OPTIONS guide, you should have got exactly same result for both widget and shortcode.

    Event import plugin adds another layer of possible configuration issues.

    I would first try to create a test widget in core WP admin, just plain counter without event import, and see if it works.
