Readability Widget not showing on pages?

This might just be me not knowing how to use the widgets..

I have setup the "readability" widget to show in "Wiki: Sidebar"

When I visit a page, it doesn't show up anywhere... Am I doing something wrong?
- "Enable this block?" is checked...

Other widgets (not Wiki:-ones) show up fine in pages...

Related: same thing with "Wiki: similar content" which doesn't show up...

There are 2 things which may be causing an issue here:
- Widgets can be controlled for each area. If your area settings don't have "Widgets shown in this area" set to "Any block", then you need to apply your new widget to the area manually.
- Wiki widgets can be tuned using Widget permissions. In AdminCP > Appearance > Widgets, you should see a button near the top "Widget permissions for Wiki". Here you can specify which groups are allowed to see the widget. However, my reading of the code is that all user groups are automatically granted access to a widget when you create one, so there shouldn't be any issue here.

- Any block is selected for all areas
- Widget permissions for all user groups are set to "Yes"

Double check the settings for that widget and make sure that "Enable this block?" is selected.
If you have the widget also included as part of a "Wiki: Random widget", then the widget may not be displayed on its own.
Make sure "Display condition" and "Custom wiki context" are both blank.

Fixed in the next release. For widgets like these that rely on a page context for information, it was always using the parent content even if the current content was available. On my site this showed as Similar Content / Readability Information always showing the same data within an area, no matter what page it was. So I think for you, if the parent content (usually, the area) did not have enough information to generate the widget, then the widget would not render for any page inside that parent.

In src/addons/vw/vw/Handler/Widget/Generic.php, find:

Code:

if (!empty($this->contextParams[$contextKey]))

Replace with:

Code:

if (!$item AND !empty($this->contextParams[$contextKey]))
