 * I tried using widgets to create backlinks to my twitter page to show my twitter
   feed. The widget from Jetpack isn’t working and now my sidebar options to drag
   and drop have been removed. How do I re-activate those widgets? I can’t place
   anything in my footer either. Ads I tried to place is the appropriate text boxes
   need a target URL and a Banner URL and Advertisers such as Amazon don’t support
   this and neither does Adsense. My website is [http://www.buellreveiew.com](http://www.buellreveiew.com)
   I am a news magazine type site and my intention is the old Saturday Evening Post
   with modern pics and videos to compliment constantly updated content. Oh one 
   question about tags: Do I add them in the tags section separated by commas like
   normal? Sorry, But I’m a total newbie to this! lol!

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * Oh I forgot to mention that on my Admin page, the sidebar where I can place widgets
   has disappeared completely and now there is just blank space!

 * Ok, now I have a new problem! I made a typo on a text widget, but there’s is 
   no link to edit or remove it! I can only add them! How do I correct this? [http://www.buellreview.com](http://www.buellreview.com)

 * Nevermind. I refreshed the page and php my admin showed up, but I do not have
   the “Wp-Options” under a options-name column. I couldn’t find that in the “system-
   schema” either. I’ll try FTP.
