Widgets not working
-
I’m trying to add widgets to my sidebar, and they’re not showing up. I followed EXACTLY the instructions at digwp.com (“How to Widgetize Your WordPress Theme in 2 Steps”). I added this to my functions.php:
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) { register_sidebar(array( 'name' => 'Widgetized Area', 'id' => 'widgetized-area', 'description' => 'This is a widgetized area.', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</div>', 'before_title' => '<h4>', 'after_title' => '</h4>' )); }
Then I added this to sidebar.php:
<div id="widgetized-area"> <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('widgetized-area')) : else : ?> <div class="pre-widget"> <p><strong>Widgetized Area</strong></p> <p>This panel is active and ready for you to add some widgets via the WP Admin</p> </div> <?php endif; ?> </div>
Then I went to admin > appearance > widgets, and dragged two widgets into the sidebar (“Theme My Login” and, just to compare, “Meta”) and clicked “Save.” Actually, I clicked “Save” several times, just to be sure.
But nothing is showing up in the sidebar except the “This panel is active…” notice.
I’m at a loss…what have I not done that is causing this?
