You’ll need to describe the problem your having. I didn’t see anything wrong but I don’t know what is supposed to look like.
Okay, I just looked into it some more… here is what I think is happening.
The left sidebar is showing widgets… Is it possible to add CSS to widgets to make it look like the right sidebar?
When I added widgets to the right sidebar, it removed the content that was there. And added the CSS. I guess I don’t understand widgets enough yet… Any suggestions?
I would like both the left and right sidebars to use the theme, and I would like the left to use widgets. I’ve read the help file on this and am still a little unclear.
Thanks
This isn’t a direct answer to your question, because I’d have to look at what adding widgets does to your sidebar.php file, but one thing you can do is don’t use the WP widgets but instead find a theme that has the stuff in the sidebar you want (should be pretty easy…those are quite common) copy the appropriate sidebar.php lines and add them to your sidebar.php file. It should be pretty easy to figure out based on looking at your current content and the stuff in the file you’re copying from.
Then in the CSS file you can treat the side1 stuff the same as side2…just add it to the list of things that have the side2 formatting.
I would rather have control over my widgets than use the wordpress ones, I think, but I’m a bit new at this and may be missing some advantage to using the WP widgets if anyone cares to enlighten.
Even not using the wordpress widgets, it doesn’t matter what i do to the sidebar.php file… the categories and archives headings keep coming up.
I changes the sidebar title in the main index.php to sidebar1.php and created a new file! this worked.
Thanks for your help everyone!
