Widgets not working

Seems like there is no code in the aside. Can you confirm you did not remove anything on the theme file (sidebar.php) ?

Try these 2:
1- Deactivate all plugins
2- Restore the theme to default (or reinstall the theme)

sure enough. it is the theme. changed to a new one and it worked. changed back to adele and it doesn’t work. Has to do with the 4.4 upgrade that I did yesterday. Any suggestions now?

Did you reinstall the theme? What is the sidebar.php file looks like?

I had same issue…some widgets show, some dont…i am lost. sidebar file not touch by me..just after the wp 4.4 update had the issue

May I know which widget (widget name) not showing?

The sidebar is blank. 0 of my widgets are working. Search, to pposts, you name it, it’s not working

@cnstar33 did you reinstall the theme? I mean use the default Adelle theme.

Let me know what is sidebar.php file look like for you. Go to Appearance – Editor, find and click sidebar.php, screenshot?

I did reinstall..

here is sidebar.php

<aside class=”aside” role=”complementary”>

<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘Right Widget’) ) : endif; ?>

</aside><!– .aside –>

@crownrandall what did you do to fix yours?

any hope on getting this fixed or do I need to select a new theme?

@cnstar33, are you sure that is all the code within sidebar.php? What is the version of Adelle you are running?

As I just downloaded the theme, the sidebar.php is

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'right-widget' ) ) : ?>
<aside class="aside" role="complementary" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/WPSideBar">

  <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'right-widget' ); ?>

</aside><!-- .aside -->
<?php endif; ?>

You may want to consider update the theme?

Yes I just copy/ pasted it all

I tried updating the theme. The error happened when I installed WP 4.4

You are not using Adelle theme, as I see that you have a customized theme ( https://in-due-time.com/wp-content/themes/induetime/style.css?ver=4.4 ), you are using induetime, a theme may have customized from Adelle (without using child theme).

So you need to look for the person who customize this theme for you, ask him/her to update the core of the theme, as Adelle has been updating and your theme may not been updating.

So when code in older theme has been deprecated, it will not work.

You can however, find a new theme to use if you are not ready to update your theme (the customized one, not Adelle, since you are not using Adelle).

It looks like under customize -> widget it says this: There are no widget areas currently rendered in the preview. Navigate in the preview to a template that makes use of a widget area in order to access its widgets here.

Could this be the problem?

@cnstar33, you may check with it.

However, using this site: https://whatwpthemeisthat.com/ it stated that you are not using Adelle theme.
