 * Hi charlotte
    I’ve got the same problem !
 * and I would like also know what I should write in my theme to show the widgets,
   because the theme I’ve downloaded seems not to be ready for the plugin
 * Thanks ! Henry

 * 2.2 has widget support built in — unless I am mistaken your theme being not-widget-
   friendly makes no difference
