I was adding links to sidebar, now sidebar is empty

  • I was adding links to a new link category(about seven links). I checked my wordpress page and the sidebar is almost empty now. Only thing left is categories. Before there was pages, categories, a link category with a picture, and archives.
    I cant work out why it all disappeared.

    Heres what I did :
    I added a new link category called products
    I then added 7 links under this link category, however I just added the numbers 1-7 in each link name and no web address, as I wanted to see the spacing of the links. Now I cant even find the links numbered 1-7 and the sidebar is screwed. Please help

  • It seems you’re missing more than just your sidebar. Your website doesn’t react.

    Adding links without address doesn’t seem to work. There is no error message, but the link is NOT added. Add at least: https://

    Oops the link is wrong above, should be

    https://www.muscle-milk-review.com

    In your source I see three links which seem to link to three different categories (post categories, not links), using a widget.

    I see a whole bunch of table-stuff (<td></td>), which you shouldn’t need, since there are style sheet elements as well.

    The code pulling in the 7 links in the link category “products” is completely missing.

    Your sidebar div is not closed properly: add

    </div>

    just before

    <hr />
<div id="footer">

    In real life this probably means you have to add

    </div>

    at the end of sidebar.php (just before the footer is called), assuming footer.php starts with

    <hr />
<div id="footer">

    Thanks edde, I checked the above and it is already in place. I do remember trying to change something in single post and I was getting an error with line 68, so I got the original singlepost.php from the theme folder and pasted it into singlepost. This fixed the error I was getting with line 68. but then the sidebar started playing up.

    When I go to a post address directly such as
    https://www.muscle-milk-review.com/light-muscle-milk-review-youtube
    there is no sidebar at all

    When I go to the same page through the category link
    https://www.muscle-milk-review.com/category/light-muscle-milk-reviews
    I get the sidebar but with only categories.

    I am still learning wordpress but I think Im about to give up on this one. Can anyone see what is going wrong here?

    If I wanted to change theme, would it help, or just get the same problem?

    The normal place for WordPress to look when dealing with a single post is single.php. Does that exist and if so, does it call your sidebar?
