Sometimes I have trouble creating a custom widget for the page builder. I create one, get it working and then make some changes and it disappears. I can activate it but when I go to add the widget to a page, it’s not there. I know it’s active, I can see it in the list of widgets yet for some reason, it’s gone. Is there a way to troubleshoot why the widget would be gone? All the code say’s it should be working. For example, I had one working just fine. I changed the fields in the widget, deactivated it and re-activated it and now it won’t show up in the widgets list. I have been trying for hours to figure out why it disappeared. The only part of it I can’t see is the template. I can activate it just fine. It was working fine until I changed the fields. Is there some function or trick I can use to figure out why the template won’t show in the pagebuilder?

Hi ThemeBuddies,
Regrettably, we’re preventing an error from occurring when your widget template is included. We should hopefully have a work around this (to allow you to debug things more easily) soon but in the meantime, you’ll want to remove @ from this line.
To clarify, if you revert this change does it start to work as expected again?
