 * Hi:
 * I am wondering why the list of widgets that I can add to the plugin is so limited.
   For example, I don’t see the text/html widget available or any widgets added 
   by other plugins. Is there something I am missing – maybe only some sort of special
   type of widget allowed?
 * Thanks!

 * The widgets section is fairly limited right now. It simply allows you to move
   around and hide widgets that were already added by other plugins. Eventually 
   we would like to place some custom widgets in there!
 * But it should be showing widgets added by other plugins. Can you tell me which
   widgets aren’t showing up?

 * Hi Joel:
 * The only two widgets from 3rd parties that show up seem to be from woocommerce(
   and not all their widgets show up either).
 * The standard text/html widget doesn’t show up. A couple of widgets from an appointments
   plugin doesn’t show up either. An “enhanced” text widget doesn’t show up – I 
   loaded this one just to see if it would load up in place of the standard text/
   html one but it doesn’t.
 * Please let me know what other information I can provide to help troubleshoot.
   If you need access to the site I can send credentials to your email if you provide
   me with an email address.
 * Thanks!

 * The widgets that exist for adding to widgetized areas (sidebars) are different
   than dashboard widgets.
 * The widgets that are available for the dashboard are ONLY widgets that are created
   for the dashboard.
 * Sorry about the confusion.
