It wasn't designed to go in a forum block, but there is a CMS widget

Well, I'm a bit bamboozled.

I uploaded files (twice). Installed .xml (twice). Added widget to the cms layout.
I don't see it anywhere on my site and I've done a hard refresh.

I've cruised all the settings to familiarize myself.
For the most part in admin, it appears to have installed correctly. Only thing I don't have based on your preview images is "custom content" section.

I haven't the slightest idea what to try next and I feel stupid.
I have to be missing something simple.

Update: I've been trying things for hours now it seems! I really want this to work. I've bought another VBTech product I love and might consider this one too, but I'm nothing but frustrated.

I actually tried creating a new widget that looks exactly like the one created by the product and it at least shows up a box, but there is nothing in the box. The widget that the product created is right below the blank one you see in the layouts, but it doesn't show on the site. So frustrating.

As a note to others; This issue will be handled in this thread: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f126/...nywhere-10565/

I want the slider to just show images from one section. Example News, but some reason it won't show anything unless I pick the option for all sections. Is this a bug?

I'm not getting a "Custom Content" option - http://gyazo.com/9e6786d6968c9c868be86f76550c9095

That's not an issue I can replicate, though I do remember a similar issue being reported on our forums. Can you please try downloading the Lite version from www.dragonbyte-tech.com ? Thanks

Ah ok - I got confused as I had the lite version over a year ago and it was there but I guess you've changed it - shame :down:

[DragonByte Tech]

I can't answer for that since I was not the developer of v1, which is what you must be talking about for it to be over a year ago.
