Hi @mindctrl,
I figured out the problem and thought I would post an update for anyone else trying to do the same thing. Essentially, the theme does not allow for random placement of the eNews Extended widget, there are specific areas within the theme that allow for a widget to be placed and you have to work within those areas. The only area that allowed placement on the homepage of my theme was in the footer, so that’s where I’ve placed the email sub box.
TLDR; don’t try to put a square peg into a round hole. The eNews Extended plugin can only be used in certain areas of the theme, via widget areas.
