Code Problem with SideBar

this the code that is giving me a problem
<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘sidebar’) ) : ?>

are you using widgets?

if so, then the widgets will be shown in the sidebar, and the hardcoded stuff will be mostly ingnored – depends on the exact code of the sidebar file.

can you describe waht you are trying to achieve?
and paste the full code of your sidebar file into a https://pastebin.com/ and post the link to it here?

i don’t have any widgets that i am using but i will check the theme to see if there are any widgets but here is the pastebin link you have suggested to to use for the hardcode. https://pastebin.com/fsem0cW0

possibly try to use widgets to arrange the sidebar the way you want it;

(at the moment the sidebar does not show the code which would be generated by the pastebin code)

there is no side bar widget. is there another code i should paste from the editor because that was the sidebar code? should i paste the main template code or anything else you can think of?

Do you have an caching plugins installed by chance?

I had the same problem where my right sidebar wasn’t updating at all even when I changed widgets, cleared my browser’s cache, or even changed code in the right sidebar. I did a reinstall of WordPress and that didn’t fix it either. I was really getting frustrated when I realized WP Super Cache was the culprit.

yes jwmollman, I use super cache, so how did you fix the problem?

Chances are that’s the culprit of your problem. If not, then it’s still worth a shot.

Go to the WP Super Cache settings page from Side Bar -> Settings -> WP Super Cache. Click the “Contents” tab, then the button labeled “Delete Cache”. I usually click it once, then again after the page reloads just to be sure.

yea I tried that and also deleted the plug in and the right side bar is still screwed.
