Version 4.3.2.1 fixed the widget not showing, did you try the latest release?
I’ve tried on a fresh install with 4.3.2.1, and the widget shows up.
4.3.2 did indeed only show the shortcode, but 4.3.2.1 is meant to address that.
Please confirm you installed the latest version.
Yes, I did.
I just now tried it again straight from 4.3.1 to 4.3.2.1 and it is same.

Is logging available with version 4.3.2.1? It should be available on whatever version. If you can’t activate it, please let me know if you get an error.
Should you have the skills to edit a plugin php page, remove the two occurences of
if ( $this->is_forbidden_areas() === true ) {
$this->logger->log()->debug( '[Lumiere][Widget_Frontpage] This is a forbidden area for displaying the widget, process stopped.' );
return '';
}
in
yourblog/wp-content/plugins/lumiere-movies/class/frontend/class-widget-frontpage.php
I see you have a highly customized WordPress, it may be difficult to reproduce your issue. Basically, the widget is not available if the page is: home, frontpage, a 404 error, an attachment, an archive or an author page. Do you know if you’re trying to display the widget in one of these pages?
Re-installed latest version – removed those lines from file – turned on debug in Lumiere. I get messages from the debug but nothing on the movie pages. Still same – not working.
I’m just using the old Mantra theme with some CSS changes. The login has been “highly customized” since I took the site private but the rest of it is fairly basic.

Would you mind doing the same as there? Seems like you’re facing same issue. Which is strange, because you apparently didn’t install plugins editing the widget.
Please let me know how it goes, otherwhise I will ask you to provide more information (check the topic I mentionned, you will find the required extra info I need).
That worked and right off the bat I can tell you I do use Classic Widgets and have installed and tried some others – widget options – widget logic – trying to control them based on roles with the latter ones. I only have classic widgets installed at the moment.
My blocks look strange and glitchy if I uninstall Classic Widgets

(the jpg is not available, but if I’m correct, it’s not related to my plugin, right?)
Happy it worked out! I definetly haven’t been able to replicate the issue you face and the other user face too. Seems to be related to non-standard wordpress installs, and I couldn’t identify the source of it. It would be interesting to know your specific install, since you tried a fresh install and were able to reproduce the issue…
Anyway, as I said in the other topic, I can’t exactly remember why I introduced an extra check for the widgets, It will be removed in the next Lumière release and you will be able to use it without further modification.
However, I may have had a good reason to implement that extra check, and may have in the future to reintroduce it.
Closing this topic as it is solved. Don’t hesitate to open a new topic should you face any issue.
