    Hello everybody.
    First of all: Antoine and all contributors, it’s fantastic, thank you so much!
    One questionn: When using the default 2017 theme, on “normal” pages all widget appears properly, but on FP pages they are inexistent. Does anybody has the same problem and can provide a hint or solution? That would be nice 🙂
    Thanks and best regards

    Sorry if I ask something stupid: but what are FP pages?

    Ow, wait, you mean pages that the plugin created? 🙂

    Those are also normal pages. Please check if the template for the pages is the same. Could be that there is a difference there and there is a difference in available widget zones between the templates.

    I checked it for you, the page template in Twenty Seventeen does not have a sidebar, so widgets placed in that zone won’t display in the page template. You can only use the footer on pages of that type.

    To overcome, you can create a child template and overwrite the page.php to include a sidebar. This requires some PHP and WordPress knowledge, of course.

    Or choose a theme that has a sidebar, or find a plugin that will help you create sidebars or page layouts without programming knowledge.

    Hello Antoine
    thank you for your fast reply! I was confused because the widgets show up on posts but not pages. You are rigth, it’s due to the page.php of the theme. Sorry for wasting for your time! And thanks again!
    Best regards
