Using EverWeb Widgets

Using EverWeb Widgets

To use a widget, drag its icon onto the EverWeb design canvas and its settings will appear in the Widget inspector. To return to these settings at any point, select the widget on the design canvas.
Most of the widgets are straightforward and the instructions in the Widgets inspector are quite clear.
Most user problems stem from the fact that they didn't take the time to read the instructions, to understand what the widget does and how it works.
Before attempting to use a widget, please refer to the appropriate page of this site for additional info.
Troubleshooting
If problems occur, the first thing to try is to copy the widget over to a blank test page. This ensures that it is the actual widget causing the problem and not another item on the page.
If support is required, the test page should first be published to the server. There's no point in trying to describe a problem or send screenshots of the EverWeb design canvas. A published file is required so that the source code can be examined to find any problems.
