Why won't widgets install on the home screen?

[AC Question]

Widgets won't install on home screen

Recently, I have been unable to install widgets on my Galaxy S4 home screen, even widgets I've previously used. Examples are a countdown widget and a weather widget. I've used the countdown widget before, so I don't think its a problem with the apps. I can't think of anything I've changed since using it last. I've tried clearing other widgets and shortcuts from the destination page. I can't find any setting that would prohibit the installation of widgets. I'd very much appreciate any help anyone can offer, not finding any help in Google, et al.

Re: Widgets won't install on home screen

Welcome to Android Central! What happens when you drag the widget to the homescreen? Does it give you an error message? Or does nothing happen at all?
