    As the Subject already describes, the custom widget element from the Layout Builder doesn’t show on the Page.
    See Screenshot 1

    What I try to accomplish:
    I want to have some fullwidth color sections on the page. Since the color sections pushes the sidebar down under the color section I try to recreate the sidebar through a 3/4 + 1/4 column layout. The 1/4-column holds the custom widget element which has a custom sidebar selected.

    But the custom widget/sidebar doesn’t show on the page. And when I inspect the generated code, the div with the class=”.flex_column av_one_fourth… is empty.
    See Screenshot 2

    So what can I do?

    I use WP 4.0.1 with enfold 3.0.4 (+ child-theme) in a local dev environment.

    Hey visualpro!

    Are you sure that sidebar has some widgets set to it?

    Go ahead and send us a WordPress login and we’ll take a look. Be sure to set your reply as private when including login information.

    Hello Elliott,

    yes, I’m absolutely sure that sidebar has some widgets set to it, since I use the same one on other pages as a regular sidebar without a problem.
    See Screenshot

    As I already wrote in my first post, I’m working locally, so there is no chance to give you a login.

    I just use the layout builder. Drag a layout-element into place (1/4 column), drag the custom widget element into it. Select the widget from the dropdown. Nothing fancy.

    Hey!

    Not sure what it could be. Try setting some other widgets to it and try in a different page.

    Also make sure that all plugins are deactivated while testing.

    Cheers!

    Okay, solved it.

    It is the name of the custom sidebar. It is “Sidebar > Schulprofil”. If I delete “>” the custom widget works. You should check, why this is the case.

    My next problem is, that the widget in the custom widget element does not have the same styling as the sidebar.
    See Screenshot.

    is there an easy solution to get the same styling? Which css-elements control the styling?

    Hi!

    I don’t see an easy way of doing that unfortunately. It would be best to just use a sidebar. Currently our sidebar only displays at the bottom of your full width sections. You can issue a feature request here though, https://kriesi.at/support/enfold-feature-requests/, and we may be able to get something worked out in a future update.

    If you want to style the widget area element then it’s going to take a lot of work. You can find our sidebar and widget CSS in /enfold/css/layout.css starting on line 1992.

    
/* ======================================================================================================================================================
#Sidebar & Widgets
====================================================================================================================================================== */

.widgettitle{
font-weight: 600;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 1px;
font-size: 14px;
}

    Cheers!
