Hello,
The first thing you need to find out is if your theme is “Widget Ready”. You can check by clicking on “Widgets” on the left side of your admin panel. It can be found under “Appearance”. If your theme is widget ready, you will be able to apply the “Tags” and “Recent Posts” widgets by clicking the “Add” button next to the respective titles. Then you must click “Save Changes” on the right hand side.

hello
No it isn’t widget ready. And the instructions on how to make it so have baffled me already.
I’ll try you on skype
This is very nice of you
Kate
Skype fail
Are you able to post back anything on how ot make your side bar widget ready?
Thanks
Kate
Sorry, I just got your message. Please log back onto skype
To make your theme widget ready, follow these instructions:
In your functions.php file ( Please Note: If you don’t have a functions.php file you will need to create one ), add the following code:
<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array(
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h2>',
'after_title' => '</h2>',
));
?>
Then in your sidebar.php file, add the following code:
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
The sidebar stuff goes in between, and then…
<?php endif; ?>
Begin a chat with me on skype again if you need further assistance. Very best regards,
Richard
Hi
THanks so much for that. It has kind of worked
I wanted to keep the thinks I had in my side bar already so i put the statement a bit lower down
Like this:
<!– begin sidebar –>
<h3>Search</h3>
<div id=”search”>
<form id=”searchform” method=”get” action=”<?php echo $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]; ?>”>
<input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” size=”20″ /> <input type=”submit” value=”»” />
</form>
</div>
<h3>Follow me</h3><p><img src=”http://www.realitydreamship.com/images/ico-rss-trans.png” alt=”RSS Feed Icon” width=”18″ height=”18″ hspace=”8″ align=”absmiddle”>Subscribe to my RSS feed</p>
<hr>
<p><img src=”http://www.realitydreamship.com/images/twiter_01.png” alt=”Twitter Icon” width=”18″ height=”18″ hspace=”8″ align=”absmiddle”>Follow me on Twitter

<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
</div>
<div class=”both”></div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<!– end sidebar –>
Is that okay?
Now it lets me add widgets but when I click save changes in WordPress admin it comes up with this informaiton
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /nfs/c04/h04/mnt/66816/domains/katetoon.com/html/wp-content/themes/toon/functions.php:19) in /nfs/c04/h04/mnt/66816/domains/katetoon.com/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850

Any help would be so apprecoated
