Widgets not working and code errors

    Hello all..

    I was hoping that one of the kindly volunteers here can help me. I’ve been having some problems loading my widgets, and tried to solve the issue(s) myself. However, I reached an impasse once I seen what I was up against.

    Looking into the wp-admin.php file, I seen that I had a lot of error codes; one in particular seems to be particularly troublesome:

    Timestamp: 3/3/2013 2:56:41 PM
    Error: The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol.

    Line: 0:

    Can someone please assist me in figuring out what exactly is wrong here? I would certainly appreciate the effort.

    As I have copied that, and as I type this, all my plugins are turned OFF. My blog is https://reviewster.org

    You can’t check a php file with a html validator.

    Your site does have errors as shown here, https://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3a%2f%2freviewster.org%2fheartoftheswarm%2f mostly minor.

    The widget problem. Please explain what is happening.

    Sure, and ty for your timely reply! ??

    There are two distinct issues, which I suspect are inter-related. First, the Main and Showcase Sidebar widgets aren’t updating at all (even after saving any changes); the only area that seems to be functional is the footer areas.

    Secondly, I cannot get most of the widgets (the standard ones that came with the WP install) to work/show on the page, even in the footer sections.

    I have tried on multiple browsers and cleared my cache, but still no result.

    Hope that clears some things up…
