Vanising Sidebar Elements

    Hey all,

    Whenever I add a new button or feature to my sidebar, it only shows on the main page. They disappear from all posts and pages. I’m sure it’s a basic disconnection somewhere, but I’m not sure where to look.

    the site: http://mercerlunden.com (using Pixeled theme)

    For an example of this problem, look under Short Films on the sidebar. You’ll notice that there’s an option for “me without you” on the front page, but it disappears on all other pages.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    How did you add those links? Is it a custom menu? Did you code them into the sidebar.php? It looks like they are coded in differently or possibly coming from different files. The one that disappears seems to out of place to begin with.

    I think a custom menu is the way to go here unless that’s what you already tried.

    Go to appearance -> links menus and create your menu. You can add anything here..

    Once created go to appearance -> widgets and drag the ‘custom menu’ widget into the side bar and select your new menu. This menu should open consistently on every page with a sidebar.

    Hope this helps

    It’s coded into sidebar.php. And my theme doesn’t seem seem to recognize the menu widget. When I add something there, it doesn’t show up on the sidebar.

    I fixed it. For some reason some pages were pointing to an old folder. Thanks.
