The eight text widgets are separated by the scrolling widgets function of the theme. This means that only four of the text widgets appears at a time, and as the user clicks the More button, they rotate. Pictured above is the first batch of Text widgets, followed by the second Text widget batch.

The Scrolling Widgets function can be turned on and off via the Theme Settings area of the backend. You can get to this option by navigating to Admin > Maelstrom Theme > Gizmos and turning the Content Top Position to Enabled. You can do the same for the Content Bottom widget position there, if you wish to take advantage of this function there, as well.
