Thoughts anyone, please? ?? Thank you!

Great! Thank you so much! ??

I forgot to add that my .htaccess file looks pretty standard

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you! I think this is what I need!

Just one final question.

<?php if (in_category('3')) continue; ?>

If I wanted to exclude more than one category, can I write it as:

<?php if (in_category('3')) or (in_category('4')) continue; ?>

Thanks!

I had the same problem. I can be solved but you need php5. I never found why php4.4.7 could not work with it but having upgraded to php5 I no longer have this issues. Do try.

What PHP version are you running? I found out that with 4.4.7 I had some intermittent problems with the editor. All was solved when I upgraded to php5.

Dear Jeremy,

How shall I thank you? My mistake was that I hacked functions.php in wp-includes and only having downloaded your zip have I realized that functions.php needs to be created within the theme folder. Well, I really appreciate and thank you very much for your help!!!

Maybe this Finepress theme is not one that can be converted to being widget-aware? I pasted a default sidebar code from the newest 2.3 WP and it still said that the theme is not widget-aware.

I got the theme from https://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/1930/finestripes-10/

Thank you!

Thank you for your post. I did change the order of the two entries but to no avail. Any other suggestion? Thank you!

Actually I was wrong. When I changed the order, I had no more sidebar in the theme. Changing it back to the previous order restores the sidebar.

Thank you Jeremy – I did see that page before. let me show what I did.

I added this to the bottom of functions.php

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

and also modified finestripes theme like this:

<div id="right">
<div id="sidebar">
<ul id="sidebar">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
        || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
  <li id="about"><h2><?php _e('Pages'); ?></h2>
  <ul>
    <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
  </ul>
  </li>

  <li id="links"><h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2>
   <ul>
    <?php list_cats() ?>
   </ul>
  </li>

 <li id="links"><h2><?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>
 	<ul>
	 <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
 	</ul>
 </li>

<li id="links"><h2><?php _e('Blogrolls'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php get_links('-1', '<li>', '</li>', ' ', TRUE, 'url', FALSE); ?>
</ul>
</li>

<li id="search"><h2>Search</h2>
<form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>">
<input type="text" name="s" id="search" size="15" maxlength="20"/><input type="submit" name="submit" id="searchbut" value="Go" />
</form>
</li>
<li id="tags"><h2>Tags</h2>
<?php STP_Tagcloud(); ?>
</li>

  <?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if (is_home()) { ?>
  <li id="links"><h2><?php _e('Meta'); ?></h2>
   <ul>
    <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.ads-software.com/" title="<?php _e('Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.'); ?>"><abbr title="WordPress">WordPress</abbr></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php _e('Syndicate this site using RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('<abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS Feed</abbr>'); ?></a></li>
    <li><?php wp_meta(); ?></li>
   </ul>
  </li>

<?php } ?>

<?php endif; ?>

 </ul>
</div><!-- Closes the sidebar div-->
</div><!-- Closes the rightcolumn div-->

but when I click Presentation > Widgets, I get:
You are seeing this message because the theme you are currently using isn’t widget-aware, meaning that it has no sidebars that you are able to change. For information on making your theme widget-aware, please follow these instructions.

Where did I go wrong?

Thank you!
