Sidebar confusion

Recommended Posts

briane

I am experiencing some confusion configuring my sidebars and have checked forum and docs but can't resolve. I selected "FLOW" and also allowed default sidebars to show for the time being. I did not place any widgets in the sidebar area. However, my flickr widget still appears (that's fine) and my advertisements still appear (also fine) even though I didn't add either of this widgets to my sidebar. If I select "don't show sidebar if widgts empty" then the flickr and ads go away (makes sense because I didn't place them anywhere in the first place...) If I choose "Accordian" or "Drag and Drop" and then add the flickr widget, the flickr images disappear leaving only the title. I can hover over the whote space and see the image locations in my status bar but he images do not appear. The only way I can see the flickr widget properly is to use "FLOW" and NOT add the widget to the sidebar. I must be missing something simple but alas I am confused...

If the image locations of the flickr images show up but the images themselves are not that seems strange, especially when they work in the default_sidebar (which is what you see when no widgets are set, this is done for the demo and carries over when you purchase the theme) Can you provide a link and activate the sidebars in question with the flickr widget.

Sure. You will see a screen shot (link below) and the URL is CenterPoint Church Right now I have it set for the main sidebar. The flickr problem is right below the ad widget. Thanks very much. G9Ls8.png

Thanks, I'll take a closer look. Why do you you suppose it works for the template "default" that is set when I installed the template, any idea?

I took another look at the code you pointed out. I don't recall actually placing it in the settings. DO you think it was part of the template install? Am I supposed ti code something else there, remove the entire thing and rely only on the user ID that I configured in the settings? Thanks.

I revisited the code a third time and then researched on the forum for a previous post you made on a related topic and found the coding error. I fixed it and the images now show up. Thanks for helping!

No problem. Glad you figured it out.
