Problem setting up widgets

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi macmanx,

    Thankyou for your help.
    I have changed the two pages as you said, but it has not changed anything. I still do not have visible widgets unless I select GO! in top right of page and if I do this then leave the page and come back then they are gone again. Also no means of setting up top pull down menus.

    HELP !!!! PLEASE

    Looking through my pages again the widgets only show on my page Zala Picture, if I view any other page the widgets are not visible and if I select GO! in top right of screen then it reverts to the page Zala Picture with the widgets visible…… can’t understand what I am doing wrong ?

    Sorry, all the preceding answers are misleading: Blix simply doesn’t display the sidebar on static pages. You need a different theme.

    Hello justpi,

    Thanks for your help.

    I think it does as I have it on my static page but not on all, and I have seen another page done by another dog breeder that has the same theme and has widgets on the side bar.

    I also can not get the pull downs on the top bar to work/set up.

    You’re welcome. Blix displays the sidebar on dynamic pages (such as the main posts page or a category page) as well on the single post view, but not on static pages. Check the theme demo if you don’t believe me:

    Thanks for that, I hope I did not come over as rude just getting a little frustrated at something that I thought was going to be easy being a lot more complicated than anticipated.

    Thanks for the link to the Blix demo I will look at this, not sure I was aware of this.

    Rude? Of course not.
    Bottom line is you really need a different theme. Check this post of mine to see which themes to avoid:
