   It seams that my theme Mont' Tiara comes with a predefined sidebar, which easily reads link categorys, links and also has a search function. But if I try to add widgets it overwrites the rest off the sidebar and f.... up the whole page.

   Using Firebug I have notised that the content and credit div-tags are (when activating the widget) moved in to the sidebar-div.

   How can I solve this problem, and are there a simple editor I can use (I am not that familiar whit php)?

   Thanks :)

   That's the default behaviour for a widget-capable theme. OK - not the f.... up part but definitely the 'replaces the rest of the sidebar' part.

   How can I solve this problem

   Probaly by editing sidebar.php

   and are there a simple editor I can use

   You can use download the file using FTP, use any plain text editor to make changes and then re-upload the amended file. Or you can use the online editor in Appearance/Editor.

   Fantastic!!!!

   Went to the sidebar.php found the
   

   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
           || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

   Then moved the <?php endif; ?> directly after it, so the rest of the conten is displayed.

   Thanks :)

   NB: Got help from
