No Sidebar editor

    I installed the latest version of WordPress, but I see no sidebar editor. Do I have to first install a widget for it to show up? If so, where should I install the widgets?

    Does it say “No sidebars defined”?

    If so, go to your theme directory, open functions.php and check if there is something like this:

    if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
	register_sidebar(array(
		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</li>',
		'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
		'after_title' => '</h2>',
	));

    I’ve never seen “No sidebars defined,” but I went into the files and checked the wordpress default theme and that code wasn’t in there.

    If you’re using the default unmodified theme, there is no way that there is no register_sidebar in functions.php. If you’re absolutely sure, just add the code above.
