Hi,
I have just installed Aurora Dawn. When I go to the Widget Panle I don't see the controls for the S5 Extended Options to turn the Widget on and off for specific pages. Where do I activate this option?

There is a "Disable S5 Widget Context" option in the theme options panel that needs to be set to "no" if you want to be able to use those settings.

Another option is to just install the "Widget Context" plugin from the plugin install screen.  Shape5 themes use a slightly customized version of that plugin, but it should work fine if the S5 version is disabled & the standard version is installed.

Thanks for replying. I read that carefully in the theme options setup and I have the option set to 'no'  so I shouldn't have to install a different plugin for that feature. I would much rather have the S5 Extended Option working. I have only installed the theme and not the site shaper. Does that make any difference whether it works or not?

thanks.

If you can PM me login info for the site, I'll be glad to take a look & see if there's something that's not set up quite right.

Hello,
That option has decided to work now. I installed a 3rd party plugin and activated it, then deactivated it. Went to the Shape5 options panel and turned the widget off and on. Now it has decided to show up. Weird but I will go with it.

thanks anyway,
gd

Thanks for the update!  It's odd that it happened that way, but at least now anyone else who has that issue will know that it's easy to fix.
