@matthew_hughes In the Knowledge Article Content widget, in the server side script look for sn_communities keyword and add following line if it is not already present.

Hope this helps.

@matthew_hughes I recommend raising a case with ServiceNow support to address this issue as this is a plugin from ServiceNow and they should help you to address this issue.
