Widgets

  • Hi: I have not messed with my WP blog structure for sometime. My widgets to the right of my blog that display a list of all my posts and many other things has disappeared. The archive was getting very long and I was looking to limit it’s length. I am not sure what I did, but now I have nothing on the side. I am using the 2010 Weaver theme and was wondering is anyone could give me a clue where to start to fix this. Thanks…. https://www.connectiblesblog.com

    Yes, I checked and they are all in the secondary widget area. However, I did notice at the bottom left of the page they are also in an area labeled inactive. Thanks

    that means they available for you. just drag and drop them in the right side where you want them, thus making them “active” again.

    These widgets are in 3 places – Top Left as Available Widgets – Far right in the secondary widget area and the bottom left as Inactive widgets. The secondary widget area has all of my original widgets that I want, but none show on the blog.

    As I said before, All your widgets are there. You need to activate theme by draging and dropping theme to the right. They will not show up on your site untill you drag and drop theme.

    Hi: I have followed your instructions to no avail. All of my widgets were in the secondary widget area. Since they were not showing on the blog, I deleted them all. I then re-draged them over to the secondary widget area. Still no success. Next I deleted them again and, and used the technique of clicking on the widget and selecting the secondary widget area for deployment. Again, no results – blog page still has no widgets. Is it possible that I inadvertently changed a setting that would cause no widget to be displayed? Please don’t give up, I know this must be a pain…. Any suggestion? Thanks….

    To rule out any plugin/theme-specific issue, try:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
