Hello again,
The following ticket has just been closed: https://www.8theme.com/topic/no-visible-widget-area/.
I was however somewhat too quick to give a cheerful answer. “The issue has been resolved” for sure but he/she just disabled the translation for the theme…
Obviously I would like the theme to be translated, that’s what WPML is for ofcourse. So now I’m stuck again with the same issue. I think I can work around the widgets by disabling as he/she did > add the widgets > enable it again > translate the widgets. But that would be less than ideal.
Greetings,
Jacky
