 * i dl’ed and installed on my server WP 2.2
    then dl’d and installed widget ready
   theme and everything was working fine…but after updating the theme a little (
   the colors of fonts and a custom banner) widgets dont work.
 * i get the “No Sidebars Defined”
    error..so then i figured i could dl a widget
   plugin. i did that and installed it and when trying to activate it i get a “Plugin
   could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
 * any help?
 * i suck at html/css

 * 2.2 has widgets built in, so you don’t need to download the plugin. Does your
   theme have a functions.php file? what is in it? Also do your sidebars have something
   like `<?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')) {dynamic_sidebar(); } ?>`?
   i guess they must do if it worked before…?

 * i know 2.2 has widgets built in i was using it before with this theme yesterday.
 * my theme doesnt have a “functions.php” file.
 * my sidebar.php file doesnt contain ant of the code you wrote in your post.
 * what next?
 * this is what it says
    <div id=”menu”>
    -  <li id=”search”>
       <?php _e(‘Search:’); ?> <form id=”searchform” method=”get”
      action=”<?php bloginfo(‘home’); ?>”> <input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” size
      =”15″ /> <input id=”submit” type=”submit” value=”<?php _e(‘Go’); ?>” /> </
      form>
    -  <?php wp_list_categories(‘title_li=’ . __(‘Categories:’)); ?>
 *  </div>
