Recent Posts Widget is not appearing?

Hi,

Have you made any changes to your template?

Hi,

Try removing that slider widget and see if your other widget comes back. If so, slider widget is breaking the code. If its custom widget in functions.php file, check your code for the slider widget. If its a Plugin type widget, you can try fixing it or bringing it to the attention of the developer that created the plugin in hopes for a fix.

Starting by removing the slider widget, since stuff started missing after updating it, would a good place to begin.

Thanks,

Hi,

Have you tried to rename your “plugin” directory to something like “plugins_bak” then trying. I’m thinking that maybe there’s an issue with your functions.php file or a plugin is causing issues.

If you rename your plugins directory to something different, it deactivates all of your plugins.

Now if you reload the page and the widget is back, you’re golden. You’d simply have to go back and activate each plugin, one by one and reload the page on each plugin activation to see if the widget disappears. If it does, deactivate the last plugin. If it comes back, then that is the plugin causing the issue. Keep it deactivated and then continue activating the rest same way as before.

To rename the “plugins” directory, you would require FTP access. The directory will be located under /wp-content/ directory … so /wp-content/plugins. Depending on your hosting provider /wp-content/ can be in either www directory or in public_html directory.

Hope the above helps.

Thank you,
Artur
