Well the theme was controlling the footer widgetized area so the default theme wont display the widgets if not activated.

I am using Luicid Press

I’ve done this….. but other than switching it all back on, I’m not sure how to find out what the issue is.

It may have started since adding a mailchimp plugin but I deleted that one and all the others have been there for some time and not caused an issue. I have hardly any plugins on my account.

How would you say I best go about identifying? I don’t really know what I am looking for.

According to the website where the theme was purchased from, it states that it supports 3.5. Their support is just extremely slow unfortunately and getting me nowhere.

I’ve read somewhere I can revert to the previous version using FTP somehow. I think I will have to go down this route. My site was working perfectly and from what I’ve read so far, there are more issues than perks of 3.5 and it is letting people down, left right and center.

Realising now, after some research that I am not the only one experiencing these difficulties…..
It seems the only logical solution is to bin 3.5! Now to work out how……

Many thanks indeed, at least I now know what the issue is. It was getting so annoying just not knowing at all. I think it is certainly the update to 3.5 which is causing some kind of conflict or issue. Unfortunately I am far from an expert with wordpress and have been muddling through trying to get my business website set up, hence the requirement of the theme, as such even reading the link I am very confused about how I can fix the issues.

If I switch to a different theme and back to the one I am currently using, I don’t lose any of the work I have done in setting the site up do I?

I suppose in my lack of knowledge, I am just worried I am going to mess up settings or something and lose the work I’ve done.
