  Hi, I’m tweaking the “Mistylook Theme” for a friend so I can add new sideboxes to the blog’s sidebar, or trying to anyways. I’d like to add at least three new sideboxes to the layout.

  I’ve used Sadish’s “ILoveMusic” theme on my blog with no problems in hacking the CSS/PHP to add new sidebars (and change colors, backgrounds, etc). So, I’m not new to this. But for some reason, I just can’t seem to get the Mistylook theme to accept new sideboxes. No matter what I do, they are invisible.

  This is what I’ve tried to add to the sidebar.php file unsuccessfully:

  <li class=”sidebox”>
  <h3><?php _e(‘HFL Patterns’,’ml’); ?></h3>
  </h3>
  <img src=”http://gettingloopy.com/wp-content/HFL_Ad.gig” width=”160″ height=”211″ alt=”” title=”HFL Patterns” />

  No matter where I place it, it won’t work, which makes me think I have to approach this in a different way than I did on my blog. Can someone point me in a direction so I can make this work?

  Thanks!

  Sorry, you’re in the wrong forums. We don’t have access to our underlying php here. You’ll need to ask at http://wordpress.org/support for help.
