Any ideas?

Hi Seaneo,
I’m not too familiar with the Tiny MCE widget bundle, however, our SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle includes the same widget (and many more) and will allow you easily to add them to your footer in the Vantage them.
Once you’ve installed the bundle. In your WordPress admin, navigate to AppearanceWidgets. Find the SiteOrigin Editor widget and add it to your footer widgets. Then you’re good to go.
Gosh my apologies for using the wrong term (Tiny MCE), what I meant was the ineed the ite Origin Widget bundle which has the SiteOrigin editor widget in there.
Okay, In my footer widget is a Layout Builder widget, and inside the Layout Builder widget I have now placed the SiteOrigin editor.
i have dropped basic contact into in this SiteOrigin editor, and made the text HEADER 3 to get a bigger font, but the font on the front ends acts like I have done nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi Seaneo,
This problem sounds like it might be a caching issue. The first thing to check is server-side caching through plugins like W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, etc. If you have any of these caching/performance plugins installed, try clearing their cache and see if that helps.
It might also be browser cache. Try clearing your browser cache, and then refreshing the page to see if that helps.
You can read more about this sort of issue on the WordPress codex.
Hi Seaneo,
If you don’t have a cache plugin or anything like that affecting the site can you please send me a public URL where I can take a look at what’s going on? If you need to keep this URL private from other users, just select “Private Reply” on the bottom right of the comment box.

Hi Seaneo,
Thank you for the extremely kind words. We’re actually really proud of our support forums, and really love hearing when people find it a valuable resource. So just to clarify, the editor widget is visible now for you also?
To go on bit of a related tangent – I would not recommend inserting a header in a footer. Headers are meant to be used as headers and Google hates it when it is used otherwise. I would suggest checking out the TinyMCE Advanced plugin as it’ll give you the functionality you’re after.

Hi Seaneo,
Sorry, by the header I mean the standard HTML headers; h1 – h5. In your footer you’ve used a h2, which… well.. to put it bluntly is really bad and should really be corrected asap.
Also, I somehow missed that you were using a layout builder widget. You can actually use the SiteOrigin Editor widget directly if you prefer.
ok thanks for the tip on the header field in the footer, already fixed.
The logic behind me putting Layout Builder in the footer, was that I was assuming I need it to recreate something like this:
Am I on the right path?
Thanks,
Hi Seaneo,
You’re right actually. That would be quite tricky to do with just the editor. Would you like my help with creating that?
