UPDATE –

At the top of the Suffusion Options page was this message:

Update notifier failed (simplepie-error)

I’ll pass along info to Sayontan.

Thanks.

Thanks Liz, I very much appreciate it.

I saw that codex page too – I think Alan linked to it – most helpful indeed… but didn’t get much on operators from it. It seems that each little branch of code languages has there own take on things; e.g., like Pear or CC, but not quite.

Am I correct in thinking that WordPress is entirely built on php and I’d be better off staying in that classroom rather than wondering lost in all of the school’s hallways?

Okay, so, with much thanks and appreciation to you, Alan and the others posting in this thread, I’ve been successful in utilizing Widget Logic (test site – my latest science experiment: https://panocea.us/wp-test2/ – Widget Logic is absolutely just the right solution for my needs.

Using the conditional statements and logical operator: is_single( '451' ) || is_home() I was able to display the text widget’s html content in two places only.

Because the content in the widget is only on the home page for a while, an indeterminate period; day, month, whatever, the is_home() will be later removed from that particular widget. And then the next update in that widget’s featured location will own that space; for example, is_single( '524' ) || is_home()

The thing I worry about now, is the one widget container could end up with hundreds of discrete text widgets all with their own peculiar widget logic / conditional statements. Is that about the way it is? or is there some other nifty means of managing the plethora of conditional statements that could reside in a single container?

The theme I using is Suffusion if that enters into the mix…

Kind regards,

Kelly

Maybe here???

https://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.logical.php

Hello,

This is not a hijacking… only a point of clarification; or moreover, in pursuit of one:

Please, could some kind soul please provide a reference to a concise list and explanation of all operators, logical and otherwise, germane to WordPress ???

From the posts above and from several others, I gather these to be correct – but please correct me:

Logical Operators
|| means OR, like, either yes or no
! means NO, like, no way can I learn all of this stuff /* LoL */
&& means AND, like, this and that

Then I tripped over something called Ternary Operators just as my eyes began glazing over…

Thanks for any pointers!

Kelly

LostInNetwork, commenting out the display:none appears to have fixed the original issue – now to look for downstream effects. Thanks.

From the style.css:

/* Sidebars */
#leftside{clear:left; float:left; line-height:1.4em; margin:0 0 5px; padding:0; width:140px;}
#extras{float:right; line-height:1.4em; margin:0 0 5px; padding:0; width:140px;}
#leftside p, #leftside ul, #leftside div.textwidget, #extras p, #extras ul, #extras div.textwidget{font-size:0.9em; margin:0 0 20px;}
#leftside li, #extras li{line-height:1.2em; list-style:none; margin:0 0 6px;}
#leftside ul ul, #extras ul ul{margin:6px 0 0 10px;}
#leftside ul ul li, #extras ul ul li{margin:0 0 4px;}
#leftside ul ul li a, #extras ul ul li a{font-weight:normal;}
#leftside ul.linklist, #extras ul.linklist{font-size:1em;}
#leftside ul.linklist ul, #extras ul.linklist ul{margin:0 0 20px;}
#leftside ul.linklist ul li a, #extras ul.linklist ul li a{font-weight:bold;}
#leftside h2, #leftside ul.linklist li h2, #leftside h3, #extras h2, #extras ul.linklist li h2, #extras h3, table#wp-calendar caption{background-color:inherit; color:#505050; font-size:1.3em; font-weight:normal; text-align:left; margin:0 0 6px;}
#leftside label, #extras label{display:none;}

Yes. The information is all there in source view, it’s just not being parsed properly.

Follow up – Using the theme WordPress Default 1.5 by Michael Heilemann, the poll displays properly in the sidebar, which suggests that a certain theme itself may somehow be the culprit.

LostInNetwork,

Thank you for your tests and for posting the results.

The theme I’m using doesn’t offer the widget, so I couldn’t test that – although I’m tempted to change themes just to try it – and the use of an empty static page displayed the poll very well just as you’ve reported.

What theme are you using?

The first question I have, is anybody not experiencing this issue? And if not, then what is the version of WP and the theme that you’re using?

I’m wondering what impact, if any, particular themes may have on this issue, which is what drew me to this thread; i.e., I’ve just installed Democracy 2.0.1 – which went swimmingly, btw – and nothing shows up for items to vote on, but those items are revealed when viewing the results.

I’m running WP 2.0.2 with the theme WP-Andreas01 1.5 by Andreas Viklund.
