Some older widgets created by third parties are no longer supported due to outdated technology/code. These deprecated widgets were originally available through the 'Blank - Legacy Editor' Template but have since been replaced by Rise Vision pre-made templates or removed entirely.
If you’re still using one of these widgets, here’s how to replace it with current options.
Widget Replacements
Weather Forecast and Mostly Sunny! Widgets
These were replaced with our modern weather templates:
- Vector Image Weather Template – great for full-screen forecasts
- Zoned Minimalist Welcome Template – shows weather with other content
Explore the whole library of weather templates by following the below steps:
- Go to the Presentations explore tab, click the + New Presentation button to open the template library.

Facebook and Photo Feed Widgets (Google Photos, Instagram)
We can directly integrate Facebook/Instagram content, or you can use third-party content via Seenspire. Due to a change from Google Photos, we can no longer integrate with that service.
