Basic UMG widget not displaying

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hey guys,

I have this menu widget, and I’ve tried spawning it in a HUD, a player controller, and the level BP, but it cannot at all be seen. This is in 4.4.1.

Is there anything I can check or change to get the widget to draw?

Thanks.

Try unchecking absolute layout.

Uhuhh… that fixed it! I don’t know why I was using it - what is the purpose of ‘absolute layout’?

I don’t actually know but the tutorial that i followed just told me to click modal and show cursor so i left the other one. Best of luck.
