Pi-hole v6 support was merged literally a year ago, and has been in many releases: #3207

Please follow all of the steps of the troubleshooting guide as the template suggests, and post the output, I suspect you will get to the bottom of the issue on your own.

OMG found it. Its always the lamer sitting in front of the keyboard ...

Root cause was the trailing slash in the widget url parameter ...

url: http://192.168.1XX.XX:8080/

Sorry!
