Yes if you have only one sidebar, adding those 4 lines of codes exaclty the way they are written into functions.php (in your theme file) should enable the widgets.

For the header image, I don’t see anything on your css saying it has a black background, so maybe you could simply change your image and give it a white of pink background in the image editor, the way you want it, instead of making it transparent.

You do have black background in the body (background: #111 and with and dark image too that you’ll find in /wp-content/themes/modularity-lite/images/bg.jpg).
If you want it black, change that color and probably erase the link, but don’t forget to change the policy color, coz for now it’s also white.

Sorry, don’t have messenger.
have you seen what you wanted done somewhere else to show us ?
or is there any other language you’re more comfortable with that you could use and then use google translator maybe ?
I’m really sorry to not understand what you want to do.

You can check if your theme is widgetised quite simply :
go to your theme file and check if you have a functions.php file containing this

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar();
?>

If you have it, then your theme is ready.
If you don’t have it, you need to create it manually.

Check https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Widgetizing_Themes to make sure you’re doing it right.

The wordpress admin can show you the drag and drop interface without the theme being ready, so first give it a look.

Thank you very much, it was indeed a missing </div> tag that was messing up the whole thing ! Now it’s all fixed, and I’m forever thankful for your help ! Let me know if I can help back (I know I’m not very good, but hey, you never know).

Is your theme widgetised ?

In your admin, did you settup the reading options to display the last posts as the welcome page ? that would have your recent posts appear on the welcome page.

For now I don’t even see a white block, I just see dark backrground, some text, and then links. Looks pretty messy for now and I’m not sure I understand what you want to do.

hum…

If your theme is widgetized, wordpress displays on the website the widgets inside the sidebar, so you actually see both the sidebar and the widgets. The sidebar keeps all the theme/css properties when you add widgets to the sidebar.

or do you want people (which people ? admins ? visitors ?) to see the code of sidebar.php on the sidebar ? sorry, I’m confused.

ho sorry, I couldn’tfind how to edit my post to add the url, I thought it would be displayed beneath “Member”… First time on this forum.

Here’s the url

I’m afraid I don’t understand.
do you mean: ” where is the code for the widget and where is the code for the sidebar” ? and you want to put those codes in the same php file ?

I’m not sure I understand your question.
If you’re asking how to put widgets in your sidebar, you need to make sure your theme is widgetized, so you can easily then display the widgets you want in your sidebar.
