Hi,

I just uploaded my first theme using artisteer and I must say the program is great!

However, I tried to add widgets through the wordpress admin panel and when i checked back to my site the sidebar included with my artisteer theme was suddenly replaced by wordpress widgets instead of just adding them wordpress removed teh artisteer menu layout,

Please help.

Best,


Erol

As soon as you add a widget to a Wordpress sidebar,any DEFAULT items that are in the sidebar disappear.

This is a function of Wordpress and it's dynamic sidebar.

Anything that you see in your default sidebar can be added as a widget.

marc,

so for example, if i add pages as a widget, i only see the pages in my sidebar. i can not select search for example, because, it is greyed out, i guese becasue it thinks its in use. so i dont understand how to add them back in as a widget.

i even tried deleting sidebar1 but that just screwes it up. HELP!

thanks!

I'd need to see the site, can you provide an URL?

hi marc,

thanks for your quick response. it seems to work just fine now. i suspect that my browser cache had something to do with it.

thanks for your prompt response!
