I’m just gonna give up. Thanks anyway.

The only change I had made before this happened was to change a widget. It’s just a “what I’m currently reading” in the sidebar with a simple link. It worked immediately after but was down the next day.

I looked for the error log but could not find any file titled “error” anywhere in the WP files.

See why I need help? I can’t even remember to leave the URL! Here it is: https://marklaroi.com/blog/

I tried changing the font color in that section in case it was written in white but it didn’t work.

That did it! Thank you so much stvwlf. Every time I set up a new blog I go through this, I learn how the stuff works (Which I originally did just by setting up a free blog and going by trial and error to see what happened) but of course once it’s up and running and I focus on the content rather than the structure I forget how it all works.

I’ll get that Firebug extension. I love Firefox but I forget sometimes just how many great extensions they have.

please disregard, I didn’t notice that big huge RESOLVED up there! ?? I’ll start a new thread.

Woo hoo! Problem resolved!

It worked!! Thank you very much Otto42, you’ve saved the day! Thank you for your clear, concise explanation. ??

So… I would need to add the proper text, etc; widgets along with the others and rebuild what’s there already?

Mine is run by the Sidebar.php file. Should I use an alternate manner of introducing the “Recent Comments” widget? Here is my blog- I want to add it to my left column (sidebar 2 in the drag and drop) below the audio player.

Hi harknell.

Thanks for your reply. I apologize for being so late in responding but I’d gotten frustrated and stopped trying to make it work and carelessly forgot about this thread.

The number of WP folders kinda confuses me too. The upgrade is a single-click operation provided by my host. It’s one of the few things I’ve ever upgraded without a problem! lol!

They’ve gotten the WP 2.2 installed and I upgraded that last night. Now, though the widget window shows, and I can successfully drag and drop the “recent comments” widget into my sidebar, it becomes the only thing in that sidebar. When I remove it, everything returns to it’s previous configuration.

So, it works, but I have to find out now how to insert it rather than overwrite with it.

It’s probably most efficient if I start a new thread for this now.

Here is the full name of the file: bdp-comments.php

It is within the plugins folder in the first wordpress folder which holds the plugins which show up on my admin page.

It’s WP 2.1.2

The theme is “Theme WuCoco designed by Mike Lococo.” Three Column 0.10.1 originally based on Wuhan.

I’m using Firefox.

That’s pretty much all I can think to describe of my setup.

[edit] Here is how it’s location looks:
home/htdocs/.WordPress.1153498961/wp-content/plugins/bdp-comments.php

I’ve tried again but I must be doing something wrong because it never shows up on my admin plugins page.

Can you tell my skill level by the multiple posts? ?? Sorry ’bout that.
