The plugin has just undergone a significant update.

[https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-layouts/commit/a47cf304684baac5f380ba25a49c86f33858159d](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-layouts/commit/a47cf304684baac5f380ba25a49c86f33858159d)

You can now add theme components as widgets (in addition to plugins). I’ve updated the widget you’ve been using to support v0.2

[https://github.com/angusmcleod/layouts-topic-list/commit/548503d6c01622afe5ca17fc63da343d4ab7ba5d](https://github.com/angusmcleod/layouts-topic-list/commit/548503d6c01622afe5ca17fc63da343d4ab7ba5d)

However I would recommend the new theme version of the same widget (with some functionality improvments and changes)

Generally the plugin is moving away from using plugins for widgets to using themes. Full documentation to follow in the next day or so.

Note that the plugin now has support for group-specific permissions, so make sure this is set in /admin/layouts.
