Is your theme widgetised ?
I believe so.
It shows the widget menu with the boxes to allow me to drag and drop the different widgets.
You can check if your theme is widgetised quite simply :
go to your theme file and check if you have a functions.php file containing this
<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar();
?>
If you have it, then your theme is ready.
If you don’t have it, you need to create it manually.
Check http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes to make sure you’re doing it right.
The wordpress admin can show you the drag and drop interface without the theme being ready, so first give it a look.
Hi,
The theme has a function.php file but it is empty.
Should i add:
<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar();
?>
to the file?
Also, i just noticed that this happens with ANY theme that i activate.
Once, i enable 1 widget it works and then i can add a secnd one and it wont add it.
I’ll try removing all of them and it still keeps the first one.
Also, this WP is Yahoo hosted (in case that matters).
Yes if you have only one sidebar, adding those 4 lines of codes exaclty the way they are written into functions.php (in your theme file) should enable the widgets.
I was accessing the file the wrong way…
Here’s what the function.php file has:

You seem to have 6 (!!) sidebars registered. Maybe check that there was no mess up with their names in the other files…
I have removed all additional sidebars.
Only kept the part that said:
// Area 1, located at the top of the sidebar.
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Primary Widget Area', 'twentyten' ),
'id' => 'primary-widget-area',
'description' => __( 'The primary widget area', 'twentyten' ),
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</li>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );
still, not working… 🙁
Any other suggestions?
I dont even know how that happened…
Is the rest of the code in the other files referring to that specific name ? Sometime if the names of the sidebar don’t match, it causes that kind of problem.
But any other idea welcome.
