How to add ANY fuctional widgets to the content area

Support
#1

This should be easily accessible information considering that widgets can be added using the header, footer and content builders and in 6 areas.

I would like to know there the tutorial/instructions are for this feature.

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

There’s a “Widget Area” element that you can add anywhere you like when using the content builder. It will let you choose which set of widgets to output in its location.

Ok, seems there’s a bug as I’m able to add one footer widget to the widget area which I added as an element in a 2nd section to the content area but there is no display just a spinning indicator and nothing is seen until saved and preview is clicked. Also, after saving I’m no longer able to access the pro editor!

I receive this message every time: The preview was unresponsive after loading. This is most often related to a plugin conflict or aggressive page cacheing.

Does this mean only one widget can be used in the widget area created and what if you wanted to use different widgets containing different content in other areas?

There should be documentation available.

Thanks

I’ve had to restore the page to a previous revision which is before adding the widget element.

Only after reverting am I able to access the page with the Pro Editor.

This has been a waste of time so please let me know where the patch/fix is. Everything is always updated to the latest version.

The instant any of the footer widgets is added to the widget element added to a section using the content builder, the builder endlessly cycles and the builder is no longer accessible.

Something is wrong!

I’ve tested this with a handful of different sidebar widgets and it’s working ok here. Could you let me know which specific widgets you’re working with? And if you have any custom content in them, post that as well? This could help us understand why it may be failing.

Created a new page and launched the content builder.
Added section: 1st row 1 column, 2nd row 3 column with an image element added to the central column, added third row, first column 2/3 second column 1/3. added widget element to 2/3 column starts endless cycle with blank display screen with the number 2018 in the upper left corner. Seems the widget element is causing the crash!

If you add a custom html code widget to the Main Sidebar, any of the Four Footers or to any of the additional sidebars (which the designer can create) and try to use them with the widget element in the content builder, the content builder will crash and you’ll have the number 2018 in the upper left corner of a blank display area with the constantly revolving orb.

Text and images work fine but use the html widget or place the html code in a text widget and the content builder/Pro Editor crashes!

This is the html code I’m attempting to use. Code works on all of my sites.

Hey @The_Founder,

This is because you’re using the write method. That is not allowed in the builder because of how it works. Please use this instead.

Your code should be like this

© Copyright <span id="demo"></span> | <a href="https://donotignoreus.org" target="_blank">Do Not Ignore Us</a> | <a>All Rights Reserved</a>

<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = new Date().getFullYear();
</script>

Thanks.
