Widgets not showing up when I display latest posts on front page

  • Hi all,

    I had originally created my website using a static page as the home page, i.e. I was not using the post feature at all.

    I’m using the Prosense theme, which has two sidebars, and have been adding widgets to both sidebars without any problems. i.e. from any _page_ in my site, one can see the widgets I’ve added.

    Now, I want to start using the blog post feature to launch an actual scrolling blog. However, when I set my front page to display “latest posts” I can’t get widgets to appear in the sidebars except for the adsense tower that’s programmed into the theme, and the pages widget.

    I’ve got TS Custom Widgets installed, and have manually added widgets to the selected post, but although it tells me the widget has been added, it doesn’t appear.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to where the problem might be?

    My site is here, though for now, I’ve reverted to using a static page as the “front page.”

    Thanks.

    Just to clarify, I’d like to be able to set the widgets to display on the front page when it’s set to display latest posts instead of a static page; I don’t need to customize widgets for each individual post.

    Here’s the code in the function.php file, which I haven’t changed at all:

    <?php
    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
    register_sidebars(2);
    function widget_mytheme_search() {
    ?>
    <div>
    <form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”<?php echo $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]; ?>”><p><input type=”text” value=”Search…” name=”s” id=”s” onfocus=”if (this.value == ‘Search…’) {this.value = ”;}” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ‘Search…’;}” /></p></form>
    </div>
    </form>
    <?php
    }
    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar_widget’) )
    register_sidebar_widget(__(‘Search’), ‘widget_mytheme_search’);

    ?>

    The problem was due to having unncessarily customised some of my sidebar widgets in TS Custom Widgets; the ones I want to display all the time should just be left uncustomised. I just deleted and recreated them.

    Problem solved.
