How do you get the different tabs to display?  When I added this widget to my page, only the Activity tab is showing.

Hey Gina,

The What's New widget displays top level content, the content that you navigate to using the Browse menu. You must have top level content enabled in Control Panel > System > Application Settings , by setting content types to On.

How does the widget determine what is displayed in the tabs?  For example, I can now see the Forum, Video and Wiki tabs, but the tabs are all empty even though I have 2 forums with posts, videos I have just added and 2 new Wikis.

The widget doesn't show content in spaces, only content found in the Browse areas. Is your content in spaces or in the Browse areas?

Ahhh!  Right now it is in a space as I build out our new community.  I have it all in an isolated space until I am ready to go live with the new content.  What do I need to do to move it to the Browse areas?

You would need to move the content manually. Another option is to use the Content List Widget to display space content and the Activity Widget for activity.
