I don’t understand your question, could you please elaborate? Also, please post your website’s url.
Hi, thank you for your quick response. It is a little bit complicated. I already had a website and a blog that was connected to it. I like the way the website looks so I didn’t want to change it, so I downloaded a plug-in called multiple themes which allows me to put a different theme for my blog posts. I liked the look of your theme and so I downloaded it and activated it via multiple themes to work just on my blog.
When I try to activate the recent posts and popular posts widgets on the right hand side they show up in the review but when it is live they are not there. I know it is probably confusing it with the multiple themes, but I was just wondering if you could provide some answer. My website is manifestyourdesires.com. You Can Click on the Law of Attraction Blog tab to go to the blog site where your theme is working. Thanks in advance. Cheers Chris
Hi I think it might be multiple themes which is causing the problem as I tried and tried again to get the widgets to show. But the demo for recent posts and popular posts shows up so I was wondering if there was a way to remove the wording “Demo” and “Disable these demo widgets etc.” thank you I would appreciate any help with this that you can give me. Cheers Chris
It’s not really normal to use two themes on the same WP install, I think it might confuse some of the sidebars. Try adding your widgets from WP Administration Panel > Appearance > Widgets and use these two widgetized areas: Main Sidebar and Posts Sidebar.
If you want to add widgets manually, with code, please write which widgets you want and where. I will give you the code and where to place it.
I know it is not normal to use two themes but I found a way with a plug-in called multiple themes, because I had spent a long time making the pages on my website look the way I wanted them to. But the blog posts category and posts didn’t look very good with that particular theme, then I found your theme and it looks great with my blog.
I am not an expert in creating webpages but I spent a lot of time trying to fix this on my own I tried your suggestion about the widgets but my theme only shows one sidebar and I can’t find a way to add the posts sidebar.
I really like the look of your demo widgets which seem to work on my site. I like the social button but would only need to Facebook LinkedIn Twitter and Google plus, to show if that is possible. And I like the recent posts and top posts widgets that also show in the demo.
I really appreciate your help with this and would love the code to add these widgets to my blog.
Thanks in advance

You will need to open sidebar.php and sidebar-posts.php. Find and remove:
else {
ac_return_inactive_widgets( 'sidebars' );
}
Add the following lines instead in both files:
$ac_widgets_wrap_args = array(
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="sidebar-heading">',
'after_title' => '</h3>'
);
// Display social widget
$ac_widget_rp_inst = array(
'title' => '',
'twitter' => 'YOUR TWITTER URL', 'twitter_anc' => __( 'Follow', 'justwrite' ),
'facebook' => 'YOUR FACEBOOK URL', 'facebook_anc' => __( 'Facebook', 'justwrite' ),
'google-plus' => 'YOUR G+ URL', 'google-plus_anc' => __( 'Google+', 'justwrite' ),
'linkedin' => 'YOUR LINKEDIN URL', 'linkedin_anc' => __( 'LinkedIn', 'justwrite' )
);
echo '<aside class="side-box clearfix widget ac-social-buttons-widget"><div class="sb-content clearfix">';
the_widget( 'AC_Social_Buttons_Widget', $ac_widget_rp_inst, $ac_widgets_wrap_args );
echo '</div></aside><!-- END .sidebox .widget -->';
// Display recent posts widget
$ac_widget_rp_inst = array( 'title' => __( 'Recent Posts', 'justwrite' ), 'recent_posts_number' => 3, 'hide_recent_thumbs' => false );
echo '<aside class="side-box clearfix widget ac_recent_posts_widget"><div class="sb-content clearfix">';
the_widget( 'AC_Recent_Posts_Widget', $ac_widget_rp_inst, $ac_widgets_wrap_args );
echo '</div></aside><!-- END .sidebox .widget -->';
// Display popular posts widget
$ac_widget_rp_inst = array( 'title' => __( 'Popular Posts', 'justwrite' ), 'popular_posts_number' => 3, );
echo '<aside class="side-box clearfix widget ac_popular_posts_widget"><div class="sb-content clearfix">';
the_widget( 'AC_Popular_Posts_Widget', $ac_widget_rp_inst, $ac_widgets_wrap_args );
echo '</div></aside><!-- END .sidebox .widget -->';
Also, don’t forget to replace YOUR TWITTER URL with your social network urls.
