 * Hi there, I’ve just install the WordPress widget from [http://automattic.com/code/widgets/](http://automattic.com/code/widgets/).
   It’s not working. I’ve upload it to the wp-content/plugins/ and activated it.
   
   When I click on Presentation, the widget tab isn’t there. May I know how do I
   fix it ? Thank you.

 * Oh, I don’t know I need to replace them, sorry.
    So if I’m using other theme 
   what should I use to replace? Thanks in advance.

 * From the README:”If you find that the widgets are not draggable, there are two
   likely causes: you installed the scriptaculous files in the wrong place, or your
   web browser is not running the scripts.”
 * Check these paths:
    `wp-themes/classic/functions.php (optional) wp-themes/classic/
   sidebar.php (optional) wp-themes/classic/default/functions.php (optional) wp-
   themes/classic/default/sidebar.php (optional)

 * If one doesnt want to just replace their sidebar.php, is it easy to alter it 
   to make it Widget-accessible?

 * Is this:
 * “<?php if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar() ) : else :?
   >”
 * the only line that is needed to be added to one’s sidebar.php?

 * Thanks for the help Yosemite. 1 more question I couldnt find the answer to– my
   theme has no functions.php — but if I want to integrate widgets into my theme,
   what should I do about this?

 * It tells you _specifically_ how to make a functions.php at the link I gave you.
