Disappearing Sidebar When I Add A Widget….
November 30th, 2008
I have just recently changed my wordpress theme and have found that when I add a widget to my second sidebar, the whole lot of entries disappear from that particular sidebar.
This had been driving me insane……
Well after some searching I have now found out how to do this and thought I would share it with everyone.
The way widgets work is basically you either have widgets on your sidebars or you have the hand-coded sidebar content.
BUT .. you can change that.
In your sidebar.php file, find this, at the bottom, before the closing </ul>: <?php endif; ?>
Anything that you want to stay on the sidebar, place UNDER that piece of code and they’ll display AFTER the actual widgets you have selected.
At least I can sleep tonight….. zzzzzz
