The .com folks install several plugins onto your site to add additional functionality. None of those come with stock WordPress.
Thanks Andrew. I am using the same theme though on the new .org site so thought I’d have as many, if not more, widgets. I hardly have any though. Should that be the case where the same theme has fewer widgets on the .org site than the .com?
Oh…I see I confused the issue with an error in my first question.
So, not sure which way you went .org -> .com or vice versa…
But, my understanding is the the .com guys don’t let you install any plugins of your own. So, if you had some functionality that they provided on your .org site and transferred to the .com WordPress, you’d lose it.
Which widgets specifically are you missing? I bet plugins have been written to replace all of them (assuming you’re on a self hosted WordPress site).
Hi Andrew…thanks for your comments and sorry for the confusion. I went from .com to .org. The web site is hosted but still in set up phase.
For example…I had a widget on the old .com 20/11 theme that was simply called ‘image’. It allowed you to upload any image into your side bar. sadly, this simple widget is not on my new 20/11 site with .org.
I looked at plugins for ‘image’ but found them soooooo confusing and they all seemed too complex. I wasn’t sure which one to use.
Thanks for any help you are able to offer.
Cheers
Yea, having your own website is going to be a bit more technically challenging. You can use the text widget and paste in html to display your image, or, you could try this widget: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/image-widget/
This is a nice tutorial on the img tags for html: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp
Oh thank you Andrew. I’ll give that a go!
