I just switched to Twenty Eleven and uploaded the picture. At least it’s working. Thanks for your help. Now I just need to learn to code so I won’t have these problems in the future.

I’m searching for a copy of my header photo so I can delete twenty ten and then start over. Thanks again.

The theme will not reinstall and the plugins are disabled.

Okay. Well, thanks for trying.

I’m sorry. I wasn’t very clear on my headline. Frustration will do that to me :0/

Basically, the widgets are still there, just fine. However, since they are in the sidebar, they don’t show up on my blog. The sidebar is what disappeared. If I can get the sidebar back, my widgets will be visible again.

I suppose I could copy each widget to a clip board, delete them all, and then reinstall them, but would that make the sidebar reappear?

And yes, I updated to the most recent version of twenty ten. However, the problem existed before that update, and did not resolve with the update.

Honestly, I have no idea how to create a sidebar, let alone recreate one. When I went to the “edit themes” page, there was code in there for one sidebar and no sidebar. However I have no idea how to edit the code to get the sidebar to show up.

The widgets show up just fine when I go to Widgets from the dashboard. I tried updating the theme, but that didn’t work either. Do I need to get a book to learn coding in order to do this? Is there a way to go back to the previous version of wordpress until they can get this fixed?

Thank you for your help. I disabled all the plugins that I could. I have logged in with several devices. None of them have the sidebar.

Any other suggestions?
