loose sidebar widgets after upgrading wordpress

Hi,

Please try to reload widgets from wordpress admin. It should resolve the case.

Thanks,

Shane G.

Thanks Shane. The widgets are no longer in the admin. The widgets that were on and being used are gone and in one of the upgrades (to 2.5 I think) I lost the option of having text widgets. I appreciate any suggestions. I haven’t been able to find any info on this one.

Just upgraded to WP 2.7.1 from 2.3.3 and I am getting an error – no sidebars show at all.

I previously used plug-in Exec PHP 4.9. When I try to activate it all my front page posts disappear. Without it activated I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tla_ads() in /home/content/v/e/l/veliapola/html/wp-content/themes/w2_dnd/sidebar.php on line 45

I also tried eliminating any widgets with code in them but still no sidebars show and I still get the error.

This is my sidebar code:

‘ <div id=”sidebar”>

<?php if (is_home()) { ?>

<?php /* w_ShowAbout(); */ ?>

<?php } ?>

<?php if ( (is_archive()) or (is_search()) or (is_paged()) or (is_page()) or (is_category()) or (is_single()) or ($notfound == ‘1’) ) { ?>

<h3>recent posts</h3>

<?php query_posts(‘showposts=7’); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

• “><?php the_title() ?>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<script type=”text/javascript”><!–

google_ad_client = “pub-1147445779577085”;

/* 336×280, created 4/17/08 */

google_ad_slot = “0730569478”;

google_ad_width = 336;

google_ad_height = 280;

//–>

<script type=”text/javascript”

<?php } ?>

<div class=”sbwidgets”>

<?php if( is_home() ) tla_ads(); ?>

<?php /* daniels_archive_dropdown(); */ ?>

<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)

|| !dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : ?>

<?php wp_loginout(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

|| !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?>

<h3>Links</h3>

<?php wp_list_bookmarks(‘categorize=0&title_li=’); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Thanks, anyone, for any fix!

wow, plus I just realized my whole footer is missing…

OK – lesson learned!!! Hopefully this will keep someone else from freaking out on an upgrade! Knowing the error had to be in the code I finally thought to go to the THEME’s website (DUH!) and found a new version for WordPress versions greater than 2.3 – then re-uploaded the problem file (sidebar.php) and voila! All fixed!
