Hi,
I am trying to add a Widget Area in Avia Layout Builder to a page on my site. When i drag the Content Element “Widget Area” to position it stays there but when I press the “update” button it disappears.
I am on WP 4 and enfold 2.9.2
is this a bug or am I simply not understanding something basic?
I have three footer areas which work fine but no sidebar, don’t want one, and am trying to add a TripAdvisor button to near the top of the page rather than have it in the footer.
If there is another way of doing this – I have the html code for the button – i am happy to try
Still fairly new to WP so probably just me but I could do with some help.
thanksHi rgbozeat!
Thank you for using Enfold.
All you need to do is to add the Widget Area element then select the widget area that you want. I’m not sure why it disappears after the update. Did you add any html code on contents on top of the Widget Area element? Make sure that you close the tags properly because it will wipe out any content below.
Cheers!
IsmaelHi Ismael,
Thank you for the reply. I must be doing something wrong! I go to Appearance>Widget and drag the enfold “search” widget into the “display everywhere” widget area. then on a page on the site I select the “Widget area” element and drag it on to the page, in the drop-down menu I select “display everywhere” and click “update”, and the widget area disappears – every-time. I have tried variations with different widget areas and different widgets, all with the same result.
I managed to do what i needed using the “code block” element and using the html for the button i was trying to instal and this has worked so the issue is not urgent but I have other widgets that i would like to insert in specific places on the site so it would be good to know what i am doing wrong.sorry forgot to say i did not add any html code on top of the widget area – at least not intentionally!
I have tried adding new “enfold custom widget areas” on the Widget page and these new widget areas do not appear in the drop-down menu on the widget area element. perhaps the problem lies in my widget area. I did make a mistake earlier and created a new “enfold custom widget area” that i cannot now delete. could this be the problem?
Hey!
Why wouldn’t you be able to delete a custom widget? Did you add any plugins regarding widget areas? Please post the login details and set it as a private reply. We would like to check it.

IsmaelHi!
Unfortunately it looks like you may have added in code that spilled over into the database for that widget. I tried removing it as well but was unable to get it to process.
In that case the only way that might work to clean it up would be to manually edit the database entry for the widgets. It should only be an hour for a freelance developer to fix if you want to pursue having it cleaned up.
Cheers!
