    Ok – here’s what I don’t get. when i installed wordpress, there is a functions.php file in the following location:

    /mywebsite.com/wp-includes

    This file contained a register sidebars. however, I still had to create a functions.php for my template in the following location to make the sidebars work:

    /mywebsite.com/wp-content/themes/copyphoenixblue

    I only put three lines of code in this second functions file. I tried to copy the functions file from the copyblogger template b/c that is widget enabled. however, that functions file had functions that were also in the wp_includes functions file so wouldn’t work. Do you know which I should be using? from what i’ve read online, the wp-includes one should be working and the main one.

    I installed a flexipages widget and activated it but not actually flowing through to the sidebar. Very strange. I added some code to my sidebar.php file to get my pages to appear in sidebar but the options I am choosing through the plugin screen are not flowing through.

    1. You should never touch any WP core files, i.e. the one in the wp-admin, wp-includes and those from WP’s root!

    2. Despite having the same name – the two function files are completely different. For the functions.php needed in the theme folder (for widegtizing) take a look at the classic theme. It has the simplest functions file for themes.
