Unable to install widgets

    I am using the “new” Kubrick theme with WP 2.7. Everytime I try to install a widget one of the following occurs:

    1: the entire right column vanished–is totally blank

    2. The widget will be there but nothing else is

    3: Aoo of my pages magically vanish from the main column and will be visible in the right column.

    To resolve all those messes I deactivate the widget. I’ve tried this with the monthly calendar, the “word a day” and “world time calculator” to try a few. How on earth do I resolve this? Thank you for reading this. Totally confounded

    The widget will be there but nothing else is

    That’s perfectly normal in many themes. The widgets replace the standard sidebar content and the replacement effect happens if you use 1 widget or 6.

    If this isn’t what you want you will need to edit sidebar.php and look for

    <?php endif; ?>
		</ul>
	</div>

    Move the line <?php endif; ?> to immediately after

    if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

    This will allow you to display widgets at the top of your sidebar and yet still allow you to retain the standard sidebar content immediately below.

    With regard to points 1 and 3, it sounds like you have introduced validation errors into the theme’s markup but without seeing your site, it’s impossible to say for sure or to offer any further suggestions.
