  • Profile picture of Chido Chido said 8 months ago:

    The widgets don’t show in the sidebar. They worked before I upgraded to BP 1.5..
    It gives me the options of Sidebar, first footer widget area, second footer widget area, third footer widget area, fourth footer widget area
    Im trying to put them in the sidebar, since its displayed on the right,. But they dont show. Please help

    The widgets in one of my widget area are not showing either unless I move them some place else. And they lose their boxes.

    I have exactly the same problem!

  • Profile picture of @mercime @mercime said 8 months ago:

    What theme are you using? Which widgets – native WP or BP members/groups – are not sticking to sidebar/footer widget area?

  • Profile picture of Chido Chido said 8 months ago:

    BP Default. Native Wordpress themes, like the login form that used to be in the right is not showing in this version

    Do you have a link to your website so we can look?

    I see some widgets! Did you figure out the issue?

  • Profile picture of fswebdesign fswebdesign said 8 months ago:

    Hi, We have a related problem:

    The widget menu options and general Wordpress admin options are not expanding.
    This means we are unable to adjust widget settings. In the latter, we have to click the title of an item to open it, but then we cannot close it again.

    Any thoughts?

    @fswd It works for me. Can you help by recreating the error, and when it doesn’t work, open up your web browser’s javascript console and let us know what it contains?

  • Profile picture of fswebdesign fswebdesign said 8 months ago:

    Not sure where to find the javascript console. I’m using Google Chrome.
    I’ll have another look but advice appreciated.

  • Profile picture of fswebdesign fswebdesign said 8 months ago:

    @Paul Gibbs I can see the script but cannot cut&paste to show you.
    Any ideas?

  • Profile picture of Paul Gibbs Paul Gibbs said 8 months ago:

    @fswd Screenshot and upload somewhere?

    It sounds like you’ve found it, but the console is in the View > Developer > Javascript Console, menus.

  • Profile picture of fswebdesign fswebdesign said 8 months ago:

    @PaulGibbs The navigation isn’t quite as you describe it.
    I’m going to: Tools > JavaScript Console – I can’t see a ‘View’ tab!?

    I do have a screenshot tool but it won’t work with the script I can see on-screen :-(

    Have to dash out now but will come back to this later.

    Many thanks for your patience.

    Paul,

    Managed to get a shot but it’s in a Word doc not a JPEG
    See it here: http://firststopwebdesign.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Java-Screenshot.doc

    Hope that helps?
    Will check back later.
