Custom html widget is not visible or Display Widget plugin does not work

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: Custom html widget is not visible or Display Widget plugin does not work

Solution: The issue has been reported to the plugin other a few times: 1. https://strategy11.com/display-widgets/#comment-108 2. https://strategy11.com/display-widgets/#comment-123

This will take a lot of time to troubleshoot and to create the fix. And, spending sources on a discontinued plugin is meaningless.

This one is similar to Widget Logic if you want you can try: https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

Riffaz Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Colombo (GMT+05:30)	Hi, Ok, then it might be a compatible issue. We need to check this in a fresh installation. please, 1. go to hidden link 2. install your theme 3. Install the plugin 4. configure the WPML as you have it on your site. at the last step just click next (site key) 5. add the widget and set it as you want 6. create only one page and translate it.Then add the widgets as per the language. 7. recreate the issue. 8. let us know how to check this and how to recreate this issue. 9. explain the step 8 with screenshots and URLs for better understanding. Regards,

maciejB-14	Hi, Finally I uninstalled the widget display-widget (I think it's not compatible with WPML) and installed the widget widget-options instead, then I deactivated the advanced-menu plug-in and translated the page again with an additional side menu, then activated the advanced-menu plugin and then I had the option of choosing in my custom-html widget to choose from pages to choose from for language reasons. The last thing started working. My issue is resolved now. Thank you! Regards, Paweł
