# WordPress 4.0 – not working

 * Since upgrading to WP 4.0, this plugin has stopped working
 * Massive shame as I love it, I even think this feature should be in the core WordPress
   installation as I have different widgets appearing on each page and this has 
   been the best way of doing it
 * (sidenote: am I the only person who thinks its nuts that WordPress DOESN’T include
   this as standard?.. really!)

 * What I’m seeing is working fine. Can you be more specific? What settings/pages
   are not working for you?

 * Hi, thank you for your reply. I’ve actually sadly had to go with another plugin
   because we had to get the widgets up and running asap for a launch in a few days.
 * However just so you know, all the settings are showing up absolutely fine in 
   the admin. But none of the widgets showing in the front end.
 * I’ve set each widget to only show on specific pages, I’ve not done any exclusions.
   I tried switching all other plugins off and it didn’t make a difference.
 * I hope that helps

 * I also have the same issue. Have been using this plugin for years, but it has
   stopped working in WordPress4.0. Also using Genesis 2.1.2 and genesis templates;
   the plugin has worked 30+ genesis templates in the past.
 * For example, I have a widget area called Page Top that displays above content.
   If I assign a widget to that area and select “Show on checked pages” and I select
   a few specific pages, the widget shows on ALL PAGES.
 * I had to install another widget plugin, but I’d love to keep using Display Widgets.
 * Note: The plugin still works on genesis sites that I have not upgraded to wp 
   4.0
 * Any ideas? Genesis did not change between 3.9 and 4.0 release.

 * Hello
 * Sorry for my english:)
    I had same problem. I downgrade plugin to 1.24 version
   and working fine. Download [1.24 version](https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-widgets/developers/),
   extract files and change file /wp-content/plugins/display-widgets/display-widgets.
