does your theme have any sidebar.php templates, which are called by using the get_sidebar() code?
does functions.php of your theme register any sidebars? http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar
my “index.php” calls the get_sidebar code and functions.php have an if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) code inside.
I can give you all sidebar-code in the functions.php if you want to. Maybe the problem is there.
thanks for your quick reply anyway.
does your theme have a sidebar.php file?
what is the code of that?
what is the full ‘register_sidebar()’ code in functions.php?
do you have any widget areas in dashboard – appearance – widgets?
what theme (if any) is your theme based on?
Yes, I have a sidebar.php file – do you want all the code inside that file? There is also a lot of code ‘register_sidebar()’ following that.
Yes I have a lot of widgets – automatically two each for every category I create – left and right widgets – It’s a custom team that I use
If you want the code of what you’re asking for I provide you that, of course.
