MouseClicksHello,
I have two sidebars:
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/sidebar_blog.php"); ?> in single.php for blog pages
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/sidebar_page.php"); ?> in page.php for static pages
Both sidebars are vertical on the left side of the pages next to the content. The sidebars themselves are different even though they're located in the same place on the pages.
I'm using the Flexi-page widget because it's the only thing that will give the client what she wants for her links without hard-coding them into the page.
My understanding when using widgets, you must have this in your sidebar code:
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
and this template came with that code so it should be an ok template to use widgets is my understanding.
Admin --> Widgets only shows me one sidebar as "Sidebar 1" in the dropdown. I have tried modifying the sidebar_page.php down to minimal code leaving the sidebar_blog.php with all the usual blog type code in it (nav, blog topics, recent, login, etc). The sidebar_blog.php is the one that both types of pages are picking up - the admin is only reading/showing me the sidebar for the blog pages.
I've tried re-naming the sidebars in various different ways and updating the page include code accordingly. I've even added additional sidebars of various names via ftp just to see if they'll show up in the dropdown and they don't.
I've checked my permissions and they're all 666 per the template instructions and when I upload new ones I set their permissions as well. I tried different permissions - nothing changed.
On sidebar_page.php all I really want is the navigation and maybe one or two other unrelated to blog things. I don't want all the blog stuff on the static pages and that's what I'm getting site wide.
When I remove all the Flexi-Page widgets I can then see the difference in the two sidebars, so I know they're there but only one shows up in the admin. I don't think it's the Flexi-Page widget because I can't get both sidebars to show up in the drop down even when Flexi-Page widgets is not in use and all I have are two sidebars w/no widgets being used. When I put Flexi-pages back into use, I then wind up with a site-wide blog sidebar.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might look or what else I can try to fix this? I'm out of ideas and places to look.
Thank you,
MC
