I can’t get any of my widgets to install…

    I am totally new to blogging and WordPress…

    I installed the Fantastico WP program from my BlueHost.com cPanel without any problems…My Theme is “Default 1.6″…

    When I tried to activate the Sidebar Widget (from my WP cPanel), I got this error message:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare register_sidebars() (previously declared in /home/discous0/public_html/blog/wp-includes/widgets.php:15) in /home/discous0/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/widgets.php on line 42

    The “line 42” is in my BlueHost cpanel, so it looks like I’ll need to do any editing there…

    When I go into my WP cPanel/Presentation/Widgets, as soon as I open up that page, it gives me the same error message…

    Can you tell me how to edit the code to get rid of this error message?…I see I can do it from my WordPress cPanel/Plugins page, or from my BlueHost.com cPanel…

    I know all about HTML coding, but have looked at the PHP code, and don’t really understand any of it yet…I guess I’ll have to teach myself PHP coding soon…

    This error is keeping my Google Search box, and the del.icio.us widget from showing up too (I think?)…The only plugin I’ve been able to successfully install is the ‘Askimet’, and the ‘All in One SEO Pack’…

    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

  • Could this be a theme problem (not all files being present)? Did you try switching to the other theme (classic) to see if the error persists?
