• Hi.
    I’ve upgraded my WP from 2.6.1 to 3.5.1 using a manual upgrade to 2.7 and then the autoupdate. After the whole update I updated my theme to the newest version (K2, 1.0.3).

    I don’t know when the error happend but I can’t seem to edit the sidebar on my site. The sidebar appears as it did before there’s just no admin part for it. I guess somewhere in the upgrade a reference was lost.

    How do you go about correcting this? I’m not the site’s original author so I’m not sure how it was created but right now it has a searchbar on all pages except the pages where we have pictures – here the sidebar has links to to different “galleries”.

    The site seems to have one category which is un-categorised and 8 pages and that’s all I see.

    I tried activating the default theme and then go back to the K2 theme.

    Any advice is appreciated 🙂 Tnx!

  • You can try here for theme support, if you are using the K2 found here at wordpress, http://wordpress.org/support/theme/k2 but

    It sounds like it could be a javascript problem. Disable all plugins. If that doesn’t correct it, switch to 2012/2011/2010 theme.

    Thanks. I think I’ll just try and re-create it. It’s probably better.

    The problem came with the upgrades so something went wrong somewhere but it was a big upgrade so it’s understandable.

    I don’t think there’s a javascript problem, I get no errors and I don’t use any plugins. I’m not sure which you mean “switch to 2012/2011/2010 theme” but I guess it makes sense to see if I can see the missing parts with a different theme. I’ll try that.

    I finally found everything I neeed to re-create the whole thing. Even with the original data I can’t seem to find where to edit the sidebar.

    The sidebar content is controlled in the widget area.

    When I look at “Looks” “Widgets” I can see Sidebar1 and Sidebar2 to the right. But they are empty.

    On the dashboard, go to appearance, widgets. Then drag any widget you need into a sidebar.

    Thanks! Only my site seems to have content “in the side” and I can’t see anything on the admin module related to editing the content. Not even in the widget area.

    Perhaps it would help with the actual site. It’s located here: http://www.bmk84.dk

    The site is in Danish but still. On the right side there’s a search bar. I have no idea where it comes from or how to remove it. BUT! Click on the menu “Billeder” (means pictures). You’ll see the right side of the content has a headline and also links to the different galleries. I have no idea how to edit the headline or the links.

    I believe I was able to edit it a few years back but I can’t seem to find any clues in the admin section.

    I would assume this is a theme problem. From your theme

    Try switching to the default theme to see if you can get access to the widget area.

    I tried to enable to default theme and some of the other ones as well and I can’t see any option to edit the content in the right side.

    Even with the old backup where we run WP 2.6.x something.

    I guess starting over may be faster than trying to find where the site broke.
