Need Sidebars

    I am using the Thesis theme. I wanted to customize my sidebars to display sub-pages on specific pages so I installed the Section Widget. I wasn’t able to get the widget to work, never visable in my sidebar. I tried solutions found in the DIYthemes and Section Widget forums and user guides. No luck. I deleted the Section Widget plug-in hoping to try something different or as a last resort try from the beginning.

    I now have no sidebars at all, nothing and I don’t know what to do. Is it time to re-install my theme?

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    hello,

    your theme is not abled for widgets.
    you could try to search something about “theme widgetization” that needs anyway coding capabilities.
    Alternatively, change theme.

    This widget was suggested in the themes forum so I believe the theme is widget-able. I posted a thread on the DIYthems forum about this problem.

    At any rate I deleted the widget but now my sidebars are missing.

    Any suggestions on how I get my sidebars back?

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    if you run wp 2.8 or higher you shoul find your previous (disabled) widgets at the bottom of the widget page; you only should bring them back to the sidebar.
    If they aren’t , than they were been deleted from database due to theme compatibility issues…

    All of the WP default widgets are available to move to the sidebars. As a test I moved a widget to each of my sidebars, however when I preview my site there are no sidebars available. I did not have any problems with the Thesis theme, I did not experience any problems until I installed the Section Widget.

    Do you think reinstalling my theme would fix the problem? I hesitate to make any changes that might make things worst.

    Thanks again for your help.

    well,

    I think it wouldn’t. But you can try anyway…
    db backup??

    I’ve never backed up the database, can you provide instructions?
