Having a lot of trouble- please help :(

Have a link to your site?

Do you see it displayed correctly on the right side on the demo page?
https://demo.wordspop.com/fotofolio-landscape/category/blog/

The sidebar is only for the blog. Also what browser/version are you using?

You’ve created 4 threads on the same issue, please stop duplicating threads.

Sorry, I didn’t know you couldn’t do that. I’m new to forums.

I’m using firefox and wp 3.4.2.

I looked at the code and it looks like their should be a widget where you put it at.

So go to Appearance -> Widgets and look for something on the right like blog sidebar or something. Put something in there and see what happens.

Thanks for helping Aaron. Nothing shows up when I do that though. I have several widgets in there and nothing shows.

My sidebar.php code is: <div class=”sidebar grid_6″>
<h1>“><img src=”<?php if ( wpop_get_option( ‘logo’ ) ): echo wpop_get_option( ‘logo’ ); else: echo get_bloginfo( ‘template_url’ ) . ‘/images/logo.png’; endif; ?>” alt=”logo” /></h1>
<?php wp_nav_menu( ‘theme_location=main-menu&container=ul&container_class=nav&menu_class=nav sf-menu sf-vertical’ ); ?>
<div class=”clear”> </div>
<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘main-sidebar’) ) : ?>
<div class=”widgz here”>
<h2><?php _e( ‘Categories’, WPOP_THEME_SLUG ); ?></h2>

<?php wp_list_categories( ‘title_li=&show_empty=0&depth=1’ ); ?>

</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php include( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/copyright.php’ ); ?>
</div> <!– end of sidebar –>

And my sidebar-blog.php says:

<div class=”sidebar-blog grid_5 alpha omega”>
<?php if ( !function_exists( ‘dynamic_sidebar’ ) || !dynamic_sidebar( ‘blog-sidebar’ ) ) : ?>
<div class=”cat-desc”>
<p><?php _e( ‘Widget Section’, WPOP_THEME_SLUG ); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

Do I have to change anything in my sidebar-blog.php to get it to appear?

Can you do a screenshot of your widgets page?

Below is a link to the screenshot. Hope this helps.

Here is the style sheet to look at too. Maybe it’s a problem there? I’m new to this so any ideas are welcome. I really appreciate it.

It must be CSS because you got it setup right. I can check it out if you put your link to your site back up.

You best pick a different theme. Your theme was last updated October 13, 2011 and the support forums seem to be gone. There is some documentation but their last tweet was in May of 2012.

Great, thanks! I emailed you my website link.

And Kmessinger- Sadly, I’m too far in now. I saw that help forum, it stinks. There has to be a quick solution, I’m sure of it.

While there might be an adjustment that can be made you are in trouble. WP is now on 3.5. If you cannot upgrade, your site will eventually-sooner than later-fail.

Better to make the jump now because you will have to, no choice, soon enough.

Thanks, I will make the upgrade. I originally had the “Hum” theme- a child theme of Twenty Eleven and was having the same issue. I can switch back to the Hum theme if there is a solution to fixing it within that theme. My problem is that my client wants a left navigation bar for his pages and a right sidebar for his social networking widgets. Any ideas?

I am not familiar with the Hum theme. You need a theme with two sidebars..
