widgets disappear after update to 3.3.2

Hi southernangel
– check first that it’s not due to any cache (site cache, browser cache etc). sometimes I’ve found I need to close the browser completely & re-open it to really clear the cache.

– If they are still not showing up, it could be that there’s a conflict somewhere with either your theme, or a script used within your theme, or a plugin. If so you may need to revert to the default WP theme to see if the problem still exists – if it doesn’t & all is well then it’s probably due to a problem with your theme… but if the problem is still when you use the default WP theme then it’s likely that it’s due to a conflict with one of your plugins… (if so then you’ll need to disable them and switch them back on one-by-one until you find the culprit….)

Another suggestion is that it can sometimes be due to the hosting environment – sometimes the core CMS product is upgraded & then it doesn’t like something in the hosting environment, such as an old version of php, etc. (but it’s usually due to a conflict with a plugin or a theme etc)

Hope this helps 🙂

what if it is not the theme? http://designfreedominc.com/myblog

after updating to 3.3.2, there were several changes to my blog. changing themes did not resolve the problems. have looked thru support forum and not found answer yet.

notice that the theme’s top bar graphic cuts off and has no bottom bar. if you click on a post, you will see the difference. also, the widgets don’t show up at all (should show “Categories” and “Archives”. only 3 posts show on main page, but 10 are selected under “Reading Settings”. all plugins are currently inactive.

using WordPress thru Yahoo! Small Biz, so my index.php only says:

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

thanks! cathy.
