Can’t see your widget on your website? Follow the steps below to find out why your Elfsight widget isn’t showing and how to fix it. ### **1. Check Your Elfsight Dashboard** * * * Your widget may be hidden, deleted, or may have exceeded its monthly view limit. > **Widget Hidden** > > Each widget has a **Hide from Website** option. When this option is enabled, the widget will not appear on your website. > > To check if your widget is hidden, find it in your [Elfsight Dashboard](https://dash.elfsight.com/apps) and look for the crossed-out eye icon: > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/0/4/04c21808d2d940a256a8075af15bb571acf269e1.png) > > > > Unhide the widget by clicking the three-dots menu and selecting **Show on Website** : > > ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/2/9/2970e908a59775abc95bf0f30a4708d7fd17f615.gif) > **Widget Deleted** > > If your widget was accidentally removed or deleted from your [Elfsight Dashboard](https://dash.elfsight.com/apps), it will no longer appear on your site. > > If you can’t find your widget in the Dashboard, it’s likely deleted. Confirm this by opening your browser console on your website ( **Ctrl + Shift + I** on Windows or **Cmd + Option + I** on Mac) and checking for the “WIDGET\_NOT\_FOUND” error: > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/0/e/0e8c84fff8580e0149f8ae736fd747ff13b87348.png) > > > > Want to restore your deleted widget? No problem — just let us know and we’ll be happy to help 😉 > **Monthly View Limit Reached** > > Each Elfsight plan has a limit on the number of widget views per month. If you’ve reached your limit, your widget will stop displaying on your site. To check your limit, open your [Elfsight Dashboard](https://dash.elfsight.com/apps) and find the view counter for your widget in the top-right corner: > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/f/1/f1fbd2c5a0f0077b79cda0757efbddcc8dbf6749.png) > > > > If you’ve reached the limit, consider [upgrading your plan](https://help.elfsight.com/article/1023-upgrading-your-subscription-plan-in-new-dashboard) or wait until the next refresh date. For more information on the view limit, please refer to [View Limit: Everything You Need to Know](https://help.elfsight.com/article/1089-views-limit-everything-you-need-to-know-new-dashboard). > > > You can find details on view limits across different plans in our [Pricing guide](https://help.elfsight.com/article/938-pricing). ### **2. Check Your Widget Settings** * * * For widgets like **Popup** , **Age Verification** , **Spinning Wheel** , or floating layouts of **Chat** widgets, display settings, triggers, and schedules may prevent them from appearing. > **Incorrect Display Settings** > > Incorrect display rules for **Pages** , **Devices** , **Visitors** , or **Date & Time** can hide your widget. > > Check these in the **Settings** tab of your widget editor (options vary by widget): > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/f/d/fd6d946109de30eb248d0427865636186ee55802.png) > > > > 1. **Pages** — Make sure the page you’re on is included in the display list. > 2. **Devices** — Confirm the widget is enabled for your device. > 3. **Visitors** — Ensure you match the audience settings (e.g., New or Returning Visitors). > 4. **Date & Time** — Verify the widget is scheduled to display on the current day and time. > **Missing or Incorrect Popup Triggers** > > [Popup widgets](https://dash.elfsight.com/apps/popup) won’t appear if their trigger conditions haven’t been met. A trigger is an action or event that causes the Popup widget to appear on the page—if no triggers are set, it won’t show at all. > > To check this, go to the **Settings** tab → **Triggers** in your widget editor: > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/4/0/4088d9ac0442671ab332023753e1618d3df52c5b.png) > > > > If all triggers are disabled, enable at least one to resolve the issue. For details on trigger types and how to set them up, see [Using Triggers in Your Popup Widget](https://help.elfsight.com/article/1336-how-to-use-triggers-in-popup-widget). ### **3. Check Your Website** * * * If your widget isn’t showing, the issue may be in your site’s code or browser settings. Start by checking whether the [widget installation code](https://help.elfsight.com/article/1167-where-to-get-elfsight-widget-installation-code-new-dashboard) is present on your page. If the code is missing or commented out, the widget won’t appear. If the code is present, the issue is most likely caused by browser extensions or your site’s Content Security Policy (CSP). To check your widget installation code, open your browser’s Developer Tools ( **Ctrl + Shift + I** on Windows or **Cmd + Option + I** on Mac) on the page with the widget, go to the **Elements** tab, press **Ctrl + F** , and search for _elfsight_: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/9/6/96e66591a7c399f5ef8b579ac63e017c1d4d4050.png) > **Widget Installation Code Removed** > > When widget code is removed (accidentally or during a site update), the widget won’t display and its installation code won’t be found on the page: > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/a/4/a4c4dcabcb9a92d19ac8643b437c607b6eec7cd9.png) > > > > If the widget code is missing, reinstall your widget by following the steps in our [Installation Tutorials by Platform (CMS)](https://help.elfsight.com/article/422-installation-tutorials-by-platform-cms). > **Widget Installation Code Commented Out** > > Another reason your widget may not show is if its code has been commented out, which can happen unintentionally during editing. > > In this case, you’ll see `` tags around the code: > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/b/1/b1d6b0bddc5b7b65e109925bfa0708a41cf1a4b8.png) > > > > To resolve this, delete the comment tags around the widget installation code. For more details, see [Commenting Out the Installation Code](https://help.elfsight.com/article/867-hiding-a-widget##commenting_out_installation_code). > **Browser Extension Conflicts** > > If the widget installation code is present in your website’s source code, browser extensions like ad blockers, privacy tools, or JavaScript blockers may be preventing the widget from loading. > > To troubleshoot, open your site in an incognito/private window. If the widget appears, disable your browser extensions one by one until you find the one causing the issue. Then, either disable it for your site or whitelist `*.elfsight.com` in the extension’s settings. > **Content Security Policy (CSP) Blocking** > > Some websites have a Content Security Policy (CSP) that blocks external scripts, including widgets. > > Open your browser console ( **Ctrl + Shift + I** on Windows or **Cmd + Option + I** on Mac) and check for an error message that contains`Content Security Policy` and `script-src`: > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/5/a/5a8e97066e0463b660aa858a85a42d26e2d484c7.png) > > > > To fix this, update your CSP settings to allow scripts from the following domains: > > - `*.elfsight.com` > - `*.elfsightcdn.com` > > You can find more details in your platform’s CSP documentation or by contacting your developer for help. If the steps above didn’t solve the issue, try these additional checks: 1. Clear your browser cache — here’s a [guide for different browsers](https://uk.pcmag.com/browsers/41051/how-to-clear-your-cache-on-any-browser). Don’t forget to refresh the page afterwards. 2. Open your site in an incognito/private window. 3. Check your website in another browser or device. 4. If possible, try another internet connection. > If your widget still isn’t showing, please share the results of the steps you’ve tried in this post thread. This will help us resolve the issue faster 🙂
