Top 1 – 4 Widgets Not Showing

[Deanna Archer]

I am having trouble getting the Top 1 – Top 4 Widgets to show on my Home Static Page. I have the settings set up correctly, using the Dynamic Widget settings as shown in your tutorial, but nothing shows up.

Any ideas how to make those show up?

Looks right….but they don’t show on your front page? This may sound strange, but the page you selected as your front page, you do have that as the page for your front page? Settings >> Reading

Does the dynamic widgets work for other widgets in your site, but just not on the front page?

I do have it set correctly in Settings > Reading.

I also have the Call to Action set up as a Dynamic Widget for the Home Page and that is working fine. I am currently building the site and I have it set up as localhost, but I do not see that causing the trouble. Am I right?

What template are you using for the home page?

[Deanna Archer]

I am using the Page Builder template.
I am also running Safari as my browser. I also checked it via Firefox, and encountered the same issue.

ah that is why… the Page Builder template is only for a page building plugin, so it has no widget positions because a page builder plugin creates your layout (including widget positions within that page. Change your template to something else and you should be fine, unless you create your page with the page builder and by adding the widgets with that.

and there it is! Thank you for all your help!
