I solved the problem by switching to a new host with cpanel and uploading the database via phpmyadmin. The previous upload using the xml wordpress importer was the cause of problem.

A default sidebar appears with activated widgets.

With the child theme I am using a static widget that appears above any dynamic widgets.

The code for sidebar.php.

<?php
/**
 * The sidebar containing the main widget area.
 *
 * If no active widgets in sidebar, let's hide it completely.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
 * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
 */
?>

	<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>
		<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">

        	<aside id="social-icons" class="widget-clear">
             	<h3 class="widget-title">Follow SALTWORKS</h3>
                <ul>
                	<li class="social-twitter">
                    	<a title="Follow Saltworks on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/SALTWORKS" target="_blank">Twitter</a>
                    </li>
                    <li class="social-facebook">
                    	<a title="Follow Saltworks on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Atlanta-GA/SALTWORKS-Contemporary-Art/40633780886?v=wall" target="_blank" >Facebook</a>
                    </li>
                    <li class="social-pinterest">
                    	<a title="Follow Saltworks on Pinterest" href="http://pinterest.com/saltworksart/" target="_blank" >Pinterest</a>
                    </li>

			<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?>
		</div><!-- #secondary -->
	<?php endif; ?>

Thanks Esmi,

I checked my site’s error log and all I see is a link to a favicon error for today.

[Fri May 03 11:09:36 2013] [error] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/vhosts/saltworksgallery.com/htdocs/blog/wp-content/themes/saltworksChildTheme/favicon.ico/><link rel=

I tried enabling WP_DEBUG but nothing is showing up wp_content directory.

The sidebar is not being called. It works on my local server but not on remote server. Everything else works but the secondary div is not appearing in page… Is the site not recognizing active widgets?

The call for sidebar from the page template.

<?php get_sidebar( 'page'); ?>

The sidebar-page code:

<?php
/**
 * The sidebar containing the main widget area.
 *
 * If no active widgets in sidebar, let's hide it completely.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
 * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
 */
?>

	<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-4' ) ) : ?>
		<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
			<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-4' ); ?>
		</div><!-- #secondary -->
	<?php endif; ?>

Thank you Christine

I am at the localhost url and it does not change when I try to login but the server username and password does not work. Getting incorrect password for the username message.

I tried to change the localhost database mysql settings back to server my sql settings which gives me a failure to connect to database on localhost.

Update: I attempted to login to wp-admin locally to make sure my theme was activated and I received a page not found response with my unstyled homepage.

thanks alchymyth,
