Blank Sidebar

  • I am curently using wordpress 1.5 (strayhorn) and firefox. When I use the link for the sidebar (/wp-admin/sidebar.php) all that comes up is a blank page. I have no idea how to fix this. If anyone has any sugestions please help me.

    Thanks,
    Cron

    sidebar.php should be at /wp-content/themes/theme-name/sidebar.php .

    Nah, Croon is talking about the other sidebar – in the admin panel.

    (some lack of fantasy… pages and Pages, sidebar and Sidebar ??

    Sorry about not makeing that clear. If you go to your proflie there is a link down the bottom that says “Add the wordpress sidebar”. That is the one that is comeing up blank. Once again sorry for the inconvenence and thankyou for trying to help.

    I’ve never got that to work either. ?? I just use the PressIt and LinkIt bookmarks instead.

    Ok, figured it out for those of you who want to know. The sidebar page was missing closeing brackets. Just replace the code in /wp-admin/sidebar.php with

    <?php
    $mode = ‘sidebar’;

    require_once(‘admin.php’);

    get_currentuserinfo();

    if ($user_level == 0)
    die (“Cheatin’ uh ?”);

    if (‘b’ == $_GET[‘a’]) {
