Title: Content missing from admin module Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Content missing from admin module * [tbresson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tbresson/) * (@tbresson) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-missing-from-admin-module/) * 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!

Disable all plugins. If that doesn’t correct it, switch to 2012/2011/2010 theme. * Thread Starter [tbresson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tbresson/) * (@tbresson) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-missing-from-admin-module/#post-3541915) * 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. * Thread Starter [tbresson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tbresson/) * (@tbresson) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-missing-from-admin-module/#post-3542006) * 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. * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-missing-from-admin-module/#post-3542007) * The sidebar content is controlled in the widget area. * Thread Starter [tbresson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tbresson/) * (@tbresson) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-missing-from-admin-module/#post-3542008) * When I look at “Looks” “Widgets” I can see Sidebar1 and Sidebar2 to the right. But they are empty. * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-missing-from-admin-module/#post-3542009) * On the dashboard, go to appearance, widgets. Then drag any widget you need into a sidebar. * Thread Starter [tbresson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tbresson/) * (@tbresson) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-missing-from-admin-module/#post-3542010) * 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](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. * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-missing-from-admin-module/#post-3542011) * I would assume this is a theme problem. From your theme * > This theme hasn’t been updated in over 2 years.
