# Fixing “Unauthorized Access” or Missing Content Error for Specific Widgets

## 

- Identify the cause of the 'Unauthorized Access' error in widgets like Carousel Anything and Tabs/Tours, which stems from missing linked Elementor Templates.
- Locate and copy the connected template by using the green 'Copy' button found near the widget in the demo.
- Reconnect each widget to its corresponding template by selecting it in Elementor and saving changes to display the correct content.

If you're experiencing an **"Unauthorized Access"** error or notice that content is missing when copying demos of the following widgets:

- Carousel Anything

- Tabs/Tours

- Accordion

- Switcher

- Nav Menu

- Horizontal Scroll

Don't worry — this guide will help you fix it step by step.

### Step 1: Understand the Cause

These widgets use **template-based content**, meaning the main content (like slides, tabs, accordion items) is not directly inside the widget but is pulled from **Elementor Templates**.

When copying the demo, **only the widget gets copied**, not the connected templates, which results in:

- **Unauthorized Access** error, or

- Widget loading **without content****
**

### Step 2: Locate the Linked Template

Each widget has a connected template that contains the actual content.

To find and copy the missing content:

- Look for the **template section** in the demo (usually below or near the widget).

- You'll see a **green “Copy” button** on the template.

> **Note:** If the copy button is **red**, it copies the widget. If it’s **green**, it copies the inner template.

- Copy the template just like you copy the widget.

### Step 3: Create a Template on Your Site

In your WordPress dashboard:

- Navigate to **Templates > Saved Templates > Add New Template**.

- Select the template type (e.g., **Section** or **Container**).

- Paste the copied content from **Step 2** into the editor.

> ***Note :** If there are multiple slides in the demo, you'll need to create multiple templates and paste each content block accordingly.*

- Click the **Publish** button to save your template.

### Step 4: Reconnect the Template with the Widget

Now, go to the page where you pasted the widget:

- Click **Edit with Elementor**.

- Select the widget (e.g., **Carousel Anything**, **Tabs**, etc.).

- Locate the **Select Template** option.**
**

- Choose the template you just created.

- Click the **Publish** button to save your changes**
**

Your widget should now display the correct content.

### Step 5: Repeat for All Affected Widgets

Repeat **Steps 2, 3, and 4** for every widget that shows an error or is missing content.

Each widget might have a different template linked, so make sure to:

- Copy each required template

- Create a separate saved template on your site

- Link each one correctly
