  I’m trying to add things to my right hand side bar (my theme is Vigilance). When i go to widgets and drag them across to right side bar, all that happens is they show up at the bottom of the admin page as ‘inactive widgets’. As far as i’m aware Vigilance theme can take widgets in the right hand side bar.
  What am i doing wrong?

  Thanks!!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  When you drop and drag the widgets of your choice into the sidebar do you click the right hand corner on the widgets and configure, click “save” and then click “close”?

  Thanks timethief, that article is great. I switched to the
  clicking option rather than dragging and it worked great!

  Just got to work out how to add an image as I don’t
  understand what url you put in

  Thanks again – v helpful article and response

  Oh Help! I thought i’d cracked it as i read all those links.
  But photo is enormous and has made all content in right hand
  side bar go down to the bottom!

  I tried saving the image as a small thumbnail in Media, and then
  uploading that url, but it’s still come up huge.

  Am i being super stupid?!
