    You are seeing this message because the theme you are currently using isn’t widget-aware, meaning that it has no sidebars that you are able to change. For information on making your theme widget-aware, please follow these instructions.

    I am using the Theme “Memories of the Past 1.1” and i love it!

    But i want to make it able to use Widgets, but theres on problem. It doesn’t have a Sidebar defined. I have read “https://automattic.com/code/widgets/themes/” and do not understand any of it!

    I love this theme and i don’t want to revert back to another one.

    Anyone help me? ??

  • This should work. In sidebar.php, add this just after the first < ul > :

    <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar() ) : else : ?>

    Add this just before the last < /ul > :

    <?php endif; ?>

    Now create a new, blank page in your editor and save it as functions.php . Place this on the new functions.php page:

    <?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar();
?>

    Upload functions.php and sidebar.php to the theme folder. Your sidebar should now be widgetized.

    It did not work ??

    NM, it did!!! Thank you so much!!!

    No problem. Glad you got it working!

    Thanks! I had to do this too. This information isn’t in the instructions for widgitising your sidebar, which I understood completely, and my sidebar was fine.

    Thanks a lot!!!

    I was about to reinstall everything!! ??

    thanks, there are really good people here

    These instructions sound pretty good and understandable for beginners (I also have no idea what the ‘official’ widgetizing instructions mean) – but what should I do if I don’t find any < ul > oder < /ul > in my sidebar.php? Where should I put the lines then?

    I use Lainlog 1.0, and the only thing missing are widgets, but I don’t want to change my theme now I found the perfect one at last.

    If I’ve got two sidebars ?
